    Yeah thats what I was thinking. If I finance it through the dealer do I still need to have full coverage insurance since it has a salvage title??

    Yes my last truck was a salvage title but i pay cash for mine. I know anything financed has to have full coverage

    No...

    My work truck at my old job was a f250 with a 5.4.. it got the job done but had a serious drinking problem.. it was so underpowered it wasnt funny we got stuck in a cul de sac once cause it wouldnt back our trailer up a hill.. to be fair though our trailer did weigh about 8000+ lbs depending on how much matterial we had on it..


    Still after driving it I would never recomend a 5.4 250

    I dont see why it would be that bad. It only weighs about 500 pounds more, and it would be nice to have a solid front axle and leafsprings.

    It wouldn't be too bad since it's a regular cab. Though a manual trans would make it a ton better. Can you find out what gears it has?

    Im not sure on the gearing. I would guess 3:73 or 4:10.
    And I would only be towing an 18ft alumacraft or a sledbed with a couple machines.
