Besides all the rules and regulations which I am aware of what can my 2000 F250 7.3L with a Auto tow comfortably? I know I can hook up a 747 and tow it down the run way at 3 mph at 3200 rpms but what kinda weight was the powerstroke truck created to pull . And I am taking about 800 mile trips , not the 30 mile ones from county to county . They have used this motor in a lot of tow trucks with roll back beds and rather large applications in F550's . Ya I know it will work but would u want to use it to tow back your friends 4 door crew cab long bed duelly 1200 miles away ??? Or will it be a very slow trip? My truck is chipped and so it supposed to be now 330 hp and 700 lbs of torque , like I said it supposed to and it basically stock except for the intake, gauges and exhaust, and super chip 1855 proformance flash tune. But what kinda weight would 300 hp and 600 lb of torque pull and for how long as long as I take it easy .
The reason I ask is that I need to pull a 10,000 toy hauler 3000 miles next month cross country , the toy hauler is also about 11 feet high . I am trying to decide if the toy hauler is too much for the truck or get upgrade my tranny to a HD tranny or just go buy me a small block single axel diesel semi-tractor that already has 280 hp and 1050lbs of torque and use that instead. I wanna cruise at 60-65 comfortably . Heres my truck pulling my 9000 lb toy hauler and making some noise in the tranny that cant be too good My 7.3 has 3.73's and 170,000 on a stock tranny .
would you guys do . Thanks cled
