Ford 350??, and ford didn't make a 5.4L diesel either. Being a 1999, it must have a 7.3L diesel, because that was the only diesel engine size availible. The 5.4L is a gasser thats in between the old school 302 (5.0L) and 351 (5.8L)engines. I don't know much about them, but I'd say 12,000lbs, plus the weight of the trailer would be too much for a 3/4 ton, especially for long hauls, like therealron already pointed out, you need to check the specs on the metal tag that you'll find when you open the drivers door. A 1999 with under 10,000 miles on it leads me to believe the truck must have gotten smashed and somebody just barely got it rebuilt. If it has the 5.4L in it, you might go to a dealer and see what a new compairable truck with the same engine gets, if it's a diesel, then a new truck will be equipped with a 6.0L diesel, as the 7.3L has been done away with, so you can't really compair them.
Hope this helps,
