2004 F250 towing ability
Does anyone know what the F250 Super Cab towing ability is? I need it to be able to tow 8000 lbs in a trailer. Would appreciate any input. Thanks

Any 250 can pull it. The F250 has 20,000lb GCWR (Gross combined weight rating - trailer and truck) But depending on engine, drivetrain, rear end - you get differing weight capacities, and different quality of towing experience.
For 8K, I'd think you'd need either V10 or diesel.
For starters, I'd say the 5.4L even with the 5-speed and 4.10 rear end would be too small. It would do it, but not very well.
