F250???

I told you guys that I was looking for a 1 ton. i found a 3/4 ton that satisfies everything i wanted, except it is a 4wd, which I do not need, and a 3/4 ton single rear end. My question is this. How much can I safetly tow with a 3/4 ton truck? My trailer is a gooseneck hat weighs 6000 empty.

It's a 93 w/ 120k and he said he'd throw in a camper for 8k. Is this a good deal?

My idea is this if I can tow up to 10k, I'll do that with the diesel, and anything beyond that, I'll use the one ton for. It's a gasser, and very expensive.... Thanks for the help.

Is the 93 turbo'd? It doesn't sound like a bad deal to me, but if there isn't any turbo you'll be a little slow on the hills.

no, and I just went and test drove it. It was nopt in the condition that I was expecting for 8k. There was some dents and rust, and it was only an extended cab. It'll need new tires by winter. Original clutch and IP at 121k, but sca's have been kept up. I think I am going to pass on it. He said he'd take seven, but I'd rather spend 12 and get the truck i want. Anybody selling a CC dually with low miles??
