Newbie!!!!!!

New to forum. Never had a diesel, looking for one to pull travel trailer. Found 2001 7.3L SC loaded w/176000 miles. Would like to purchase as third vehicle for pulling. Would this be a good option?

Welcome to FTE! It should be good to pull a travel trailer.

Here is your towing guide to assist in your selection of travel trailers and what the proposed truck can do...

This goes to 2002 but I would think there won't be much of a difference for 2001.

Welcome, if you can put up with an oil burner, then it should be a great puller.

That is a lot of miles, you may want to pull an oasis report before you but it.
