Need an opinion on a tow vehicle
Hey guys. I have a line on a different tow vehicle. Currently I pull my toy hauler with my half ton Nissan, and it does ok, but just ok. You get into a head wind or hills and it struggles. Well, the neighbor has a '99 F250 with the 7.3l. It's a crew cab (not a dually),Lariat with 180k miles. It's a one owner and this guy generally takes care of his stuff. I can get it for $5k. He doesn't use it anymore. It's not really for sale, I just asked him about it and he said he was going to trade it in when they bought his wife a new ride. It's been used as a daily driver and hasn't towed anything other than a small utility trailer now and then. Says it gets about 23mpg. My toy hauler is about 7k loaded so I think this should pull it with ease. Any thoughts on the truck, towing capacity, anything??? Thanks!
