Newbie Towing question

Post by Trainhound »

I just bought a F250 Camper Special Ranger XLT with a 390 and C6 auto tranny. I am moving from southern California to Spokane Washington and was wondering if this truck would have any problems towing a 16-20ft tandem axle car trailer loaded with furniture or a car? What has your experience been?

Your truck should have no problems pulling a trailer that size as long as it is in good mechanical shape. My biggest concern would be brakes. I would give them the once over before the trip.
