I'm debating on getting a "new to me" tow vehicle to go along with either my trailer purchase or a trailer rental. I've got a friend that has a F350 dully King Ranch that will do the trick but prefer to not borrow a vehicle.
I'd like to just get it for towing occassionally and so it doesn't need to look pretty or be very new. Just reliable.
What models should I be looking at if I want to keep it under $10k that will have a 12000lb or more towing capacity? Preferably in the $7,500 range.
I don't want to do a 5th wheel trailer so do I need a dully or can I get by with a single? I assume diesel is the way to go but what about a V-10? Do I need F350 or will an F250 do it?
