New Guy Needs Feedback
My name is Bo and I'm thinking of buying a 1998 Ford F-250 with only 35,000 miles on it.
I know this is a 3/4 ton truck but it is light duty. I need to know if $8000.00 is a good price for this truck (it looks new).
Also, is this truck capable of pulling a 16ft landscape trailer full of equipment?
I'd like to get a dump insert as well. Is this too much for this truck?
Please help!
Thanks,
Bo (the new guy)

Hey Bo, welcome to FTE.
You may want to try this down in the specific forums, you'll get a lot better response to your questions.
The more info you provide also helps us give you better answers. What engine, gears, suspension packages, etc, etc. The more you give us, the more we can give you.
But 16ft shouldn't be any issue. What is the weight, loaded? That is the big question.
Again, welcome to FTE. See ya around.

That sounds like a great deal. Low miles and in great shape. For that kind of towing you will need to make sure it has the 5.4l Triton v-8 which I am sure it has and a class III, IV or V Towing receiver which it should all ready have that tow package equiped. Bonuses would be 4x4, Auto Trans and XLT package will be nice to have also on it. Let us know if it does and if you go with it. Also is it a regular cab or a Extended cab and what is the length of the box? Some of the plans you have you may need to do some mods like stiffining up the suspension and stronger tires. And keep it well tuned and maintained.
