As an owner of a 2000 F350 LB SRW 4X4 7.3 I can say a lot about hauling my FW that weighs about 9300 pounds loaded.

My truck is rated to tow 10,000. Max capacity is 9900. Truck weighs 7300. Your capacity is less.

Feeling that weight behind me pushing me downhill can be a nerve wracking experience, and I have a lot of experience with this truck.

Here is a post in another forum you should read before you consider your purchase.

F250 towing.
