Whenever reading how so called "under powered" or "slow" the 7.3L is when towing, bear in mind the axle ratio the person with the opinion had.
BigToe hit the nail on the head. I tow a 15k fiver with my 2003 F450 7.3. I don't have any issues with power, but I've got 4.88 gears in the back. I wouldn't want to do it with a 3.73 axle. I think that would be asking too much of my engine and transmission.
And what do think I am trying to say, you have the gears ,and a dually. I didn't think I would have to remind everyone that is raving about the 7.3 what the op has.
The OP's truck is a 250 with 3:73, and yet we are getting reply's like put on a PacBrake, and he is good to go. Thats crazy ,no he is not good to go. He is marginal at best. I did it for too long with a 7.3 to listen to some of these replies.
