As long as your steering is tight, brakes and suspension are good... yeah they pull great! I use mine everyday, I plow snow, pull a 24' cattle trailer... well this list could go forever...

Spinposi, looks like you really use your truck like it was intended to, farm work, plowing and so on.

I haven't towed with any of the dents I've owned my the 72 f250 Last year I towed two ton of fill dirt and she handled get just can't get in a hurry/rush, know the limits of your truck, and have it road legal. I pulled the load with no tags, worn out motor/tranny, and in the summer on dirt/hilly roads. She strugled to pull her like a newer/rebuilt truck but I got her up to 60 and she handled great.

I tow my job trailer all the time. Here's the wife posing with it when we were moving back to MT from CA 2 years ago. Over 1600 miles on that trip alone.
