With my 97 f150 4x4 stock every thing auto tranny i pulled a 10,000 pound bob cat around i wouldnt do that every day but it will do it. also pulled a 86 chevy suberban( gross vehicle weight 8,600 pounds plus this thing had been lifted with big tires and was loaded full of tools and construction materials not too mention i had too use my equipment trailer 8ft wide x 20ft long it weighs 2,500 by it self) from Weatherford, Ok too Joplin, Mo top speed was 65-70 depending on wether u was goin up a hill or not. but i also just blew a head gasket at 230,000 miles too lol. I also hauld all kinds of cars and trucks cross state fairly often. so thats what my 97 can pull.

Last time i checked with ford the actual vehicle tow capacity is 8,000
