Steve:
You failed to mention over what kind of terrain you'd be towing the trailer and
Tiger. That's an important piece of info.
I'll echo a couple of the guys who have answered already...if you get an F-250
Powerstroke Diesel, you'll never even know the trailer is back there. I've
towed my Tiger with a 4.0L Ranger V6, a Ford F-150 with a 5.4L V8 and an '04
Ford F-250 Powerstroke Diesel. THERE IS NO COMPARISON...THE DIESEL WILL PULL A
HOUSE DOWN IF NECESSARY!!!! My wife and I just got back from SUNI today and,
other than catching a rock in the windshield on my F-250, we had an uneventful
trip. I can't even imagine trying that in my old F-150 and there's no way in
hell I'd EVER try that with a V6 Ranger.
The bottom line is don't waste your money on a tow vehicle that is "marginal."
Get a diesel F-250 and you'll never be sorry.
