F350

I just bought a 2004 FORD F350 XL SUPER DUTY NON-Dually and I want to know if this will be able to tow a 10,500 lb excavator with buckets. Total weight with trailer about 14,500 lbs.

thanks

Here's a link to the '04 towing guide. Should be able to find it there.

Wow, you guys are quick. Thanks.

Also I have a 1997 f350 powerstroke 7.3L dually with a flatbed, boxes, lumber rack etc.

I would like to compare the horsepower and torque of that with the 2004 with a 6.0 diesel.

Also I spent $8,360 on the truck at an auction, anyone think that was a good deal?

Hell, even if you got the '97 for $8360, you got a hell of a deal!

Congrats on that purchase!

I'm thinking the '97 should be around 215 hp and 435 tq. The '04 325 hp and 560 tq.
