I just inherited my grandfather's 2000 Ford F150 7700. Beings I have this truck, I'm selling my 1994 F250 (anyone looking to buy...?) At the end of this month, I plan to pick a John Deere B I purchased 225 miles away. I have plenty of trailer - 19ft bumper hitch deckover w/2 7K axles - but am uncertain of this truck. The F250 would do it no prob but she's getting tired at 131K. Beings this truck is a 7700, it has a towing capacity of 8400 lbs. It has the factory class 3 hitch with a capacity of 500 lb downpressure and 5000 lb pull. I think I should change it out to a class 5 with 1000 lb down pressure and 12000 lb pull but it is a 300 dollar expense. Some co-workers think I can get away with using the class 3 but they have no financial investment in this venture. I really don't wanna see my new B pass my new truck.
First question - Should I have any concerns about pulling the trailer with this truck on the interstate for so many miles?
Second question - Should I change out the reciever for a heavier one?
It's a nice truck but I'd rather have my grandpa back:-(

That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
