If you can provide figures I'd appreciate it, also axle ratios and whether mileage is towing/empty, manual/auto, usual speed, etc. I am told that a 7.3 will pull what I want to tow without problem (possibly up to 47ft trailer, 2 cars for track, maybe 15-18k lbs), but most of them out there are high mileage and pretty pricey still compared to a used '08, which I don't understand. Also, from what I can gather I should avoid the 6.0...is this true? So far everyone I have talked to except for one person has said stay away from them. Please understand I am NOT trying to start any heated discussion, just want to get as much info as possible. Thanks!
