Best Ford Pickup Truck Engine to tow 7 tons
I have a Ford F-250 Super Duty. 5.4 gas engine that I pull a 16 foot trailer and buy and sell tractors, pulling I get about 13 MPG and just the truck I get around 16 MPG,I never know if anything is behind me when loaded.
I love the gas 5.4 and the fuel is cheaper and the MPG is about the same.

Best Ford Pickup Truck Engine to tow 7 tons
My tranny is just an Automatic and not sure about my rear end ,but I have a 16 2 axel trailers 7500 pounds, that has on it now 201 8 Inch Concrete brocks and about 200 Bricks, and 30 -16 foot pieces of oak lumber on it, And my 5.4 gas handled it very well for over 50 miles.
Now I do have a load, this morning I unlock it from my truck and had to use 2 jacks to jack up the trailer to get it off of my ball. I am sure I am overloaded.
I retired from the Government and many called me bugs at work, so I took Bugs as a user name.
real name is Bronnie. Pronounce as B--Ronnie now put together.
I buy and sell used one owner low hours farm tractors ,repaid whatever and then paint them and change all fluids then sell. and I haul all of the time. I now have 4 Tractors. This 250 ford with the same engine as my ex 2007 150 ford has the same engine but I get better gas mileage then the 2007 150.
I think also that the 250 and 350 are the same truck except for springs and shocks. Just me, from looking and driving them.
Also a Ford truck will resale better then a Chevy or a Dodge. Besides I am parcel to a Ford. I have heard that the dodge was having transmission problems, and the Chevy will rust on you.
look on Gov deals.com and all are Government trucks ,and I found my 250 a 2002 with 61,000 miles and all service records and they had just put on new tires, fan belts ,battery, brakes and rotors, last year and I gave $58xx.00 Dollars and when I got it home I was offered $14,000.00 for it, I said no after driving over 600 miles. I have put on about 14,000 miles without any problems or any oil use and it is a 4x4.Has a 5.4 engine, Auto, am-fm radio air,it is an XL model and I love it.Plus saved several thousands dollars.
Take your time and you will find a low mileage good truck in a 250 or 350 or any other kind of truck.Look for service records that can tell you a lot on Govdeals.
Good Luck.
Bugs
