2000 f350 v10,auto for pulling ?

[RTM]

I am looking at a 2000 f350 four door 4x4 v10 with auto tran. Price is $ 5500.00
I am needing it for pulling trailers.
Is the auto tran heavy enough for pulling? 25' triple axle loaded with hay.
Also how is milage both pulling and empty.
seems like the price is reasonable enough if it will do the job.
Any problems to anticipate, already read about spark plug and manifold problems.

2000 F350 V10 Auto 4x4 SC SRW 4:30.
I tow a 32' Fifth Wheel that weighs 13,000 lbs. Truck has the Auto Trans. and no problems yet after 40,000 towing in mountains. Miieage is about 8-10 towing and 12-13 single at the speed limit. Notice, I have the 4:30 gears which greatly inprove towing capacity. No spark plugs changed yet after 40,000 and no manifold issues. No problem with the weight your towing unless this truck is tired or whatever. Most spark plugs issues were from 1999 year. Thread changes in 2000 seem to reduce the plug throwing.
Good Luck,
