Hello

Stopping here to say Hi! I'm on my way to find as much info as possible about the greatest trucks ever made!
I'm looking for a new Ford (new to me at least) F250 tow vehicle and I heard this was the place where all of my questions would be answered.
Been a Ford guy since birth, but haven't owned an HD truck...yet! I'm off to search!

Great site, thanks.

Hey guys, thanks for the welcome.

Racer I'll be towing an understeering, brake-diving 3400# mustang with an open trailer. I'm looking for a 250 95-97ish ext. cab. Not sure about diesel/gas but I know didly squat about diesel...so probably gas. Any suggestions?

Thanks

If I was towing my usually fairly neutral steering, somewhat brake-diving 3200# T-Bird that gets hauled on an open trailer, lots I'd think about a diesel but since I usually only race at my local track about 12 times a year the gas engine does fine.
If you ask the same question in the Super/Heavy Duty forum, which is a ways further down on the main forum page, you'll get lots of opinions
