2005 f250
If anyone out there has bought or is thinking of buying a 250 with the 5.4L I'd love to hear about how it handles and how it tows. I'm hearing 8k+ and others are saying less. Thanks in advance for sharing any new news!

For what it's worth, I've test-driven it and you REALLY feel the difference over the old 5.4. I think it's much better suited for towing than the old 5.4, but I'd still go with the bigger motors if you're towing 100% of the time, or towing anything really heavy. It's rated to tow between 9000-12000 lbs., depending on body style and rear axle ratio.

Thanks Jeff! That sounds just fine in range for towing for what I plan on using for at any given time. I prob wouldn't need more than 8k capacity but I don't want to look at a truck that would be strained to tow it either. I really have to check 'em out now
