So I need some opinions. I am looking at hauling my JD B and LA back to Iowa for the two cylinder expo. I have a 90 f150 with 225k on the clock and while it hasn't given me any trouble, I don't know if I am willing to go that far with it. Plus it would need a/c work, general tube up, coolant leak fixed and some other little stuff. It is 1900 miles from California.
Given my load (5500lbs or so) plus a trailer, I figure around 8000 pounds. Would I be pushing a 150 (would have to install brake controller)? If so, would the recommendation be a 250. This type a load would be a rare occurrence. Always could use a newer truck to replace the '90, but don't want to over/under buy.
Thanks.
