Towing with a Ford F250

Hello Everyone:
I am thinking about towing a 34 foot travel trailer (6800 lbs trailer weight) with a ford F250 6.7 L 32Valve DDI OHV turbo diesel V8 engine. Would you recommend this vehicle for a tow vehicle for towing this travel trailer?

    Thanks to everyone who responded to my question! We definitely will see a F250 in the near future pulling our TT!

    If that won't tow it nothing will. I don't even need to see the numbers for either. That's a perfect match

    That F250 with a 6.7 is a great TV ...only thing better would be an F350 with a 6.7 the F250 will work !!

    That's plenty of truck. Set your WDH (if your using one) right and go have fun

    You're well within bounds. We towed a 32' TT with an F250 6.8L V10 with no problem.

    I too have a 2011 F250 gasser towing a 34 foot TT weighing in around 8600 lbs and it tows very well with WDH and sway control. Your diesel should do just fine.

    You should always compare the weight of the trailer to the rated towing capacity of the truck. Offhand I would say you are well within the capacity of this truck.

    Hello:
    I forgot to say that the Ford F250 is a 2011 with 33332 miles on it.
