Im looking at upgrading to a bigger truck. i currently use a 86 f150 with a 300 straight 6 4 speed with 4.10 gears to pull my tractors around with. I have found a 92 F350 crew cab dually with the 7.3 IDI 5 speedcfor 5500 in good condition with new injectors in it. truck runs well. I just wondering if ill be happy pulling the trailers with it. loaded the trailer (20' 5ton tag-along)with the tractor is 6k to 7k. my biggest concern is towing hills. the truck i currently have moves the weight ok just hates the hills and I'm worried the IDI will be the same way. I'm also looking to upgrade to a 25'+5' gooseneck to help move hay. any thoughts on how this setup will do? I mostly pull locally within 30 miles of my house but with a bigger truck i will be pulling the tractors on the interstate about 150 miles and up Fancy Gap in the VA mountains.
