Towing with F250
I am new to camping and recently purchased a 34 foot puma trailer. It has the delux accommodation package with the bunkhouse. So far so good. I have an older Ford F250, 1974. I pulled the traile...

Thank you all for your reply. I have some digging to do on the old 74 F250. Once I get some payload, towing numbers, GVWR, I can go from there. I did buy a trailer tongue scale so I can also accurately measure the loaded trailer.
Btw, I believe I have the smaller V6 engine, its a F250 ranger 1974 and she runs like a dream.
Thanks again!
That would be an "inline" 6, didn't have V6 back then.. You have either the 240CID or the 300 CID.. The 300CID was real torquie, didn't go fast but got the job done..
Not a fan of Wiki but they do have an interesting section on the 70s Ford trucks..

On edit..
I wanted to add that there is a real nice thread in the towing section that you may find very helpful.
You can view it at THIS CLICKY LINK.. (you might notice that the link takes you to "Woodalls" not RV.net.. they are one in the same just a different "portal" or way to get in the forum)
