I have a 2000 F250 4 door with a 7.3 PS. Love the truck, get 16-20 mpg empty, never checked it pulling a trailer. Has the power to pull about anything I hook onto it. Now the downside. I pull a trailer quite often, all tag trailers, with an M Farmall, pulled it great, no problem, put a trailer on it that had a gross weight of a little over 8000 pounds, this is where it gets a little squirrely, it pulls fine going down the road, does not have a lot of problems stopping, but going around a curve, the trailer has a tendancy of pushing the truck a little, this is where I think a dually would be much better. Don't get me wrong, it is not bad enough to feel unsafe, but with the weight you are looking to pull, it will get worse, the more weight you put on the truck, the more it could try to push you when going around a curve.
