Install a PacBrake and you a are good to go!
Seriously, you towed much with the 7.3 F250 with 12K hooked up . You can install all the PacBrakes in the world, won't change anything but a bit better on the downgrades, but first you have to get to the top to go down the other side.
Good advice on the PacBrake, but totally bad advice on the good to go. There is nothing good to go towing 12K with a 7.3 .
Look at my Signature! I tow an easy 11,000# with a Cummins 5.9 with a 50 hp, 150 lb. ft. chip, I also live in the PNW and pull hills at posted speeds with a 3.55 rear gear!
Totally agree with you. The 7.3 is a highly capable motor. The bad thing about the "new" diesel and gas HD motors is that they have so much power people have lost the sense of vehicles working hard.
Thanks!
