If it was a Bronco with a M5R2 5 speed, I could see that because Ford had a bad habit of putting weak clutches in the trucks to keep people happy with pedal pressure. All OE M5R2 clutches are rated to 3500 lb trailers. Aftermarket clutches can be found for 8,000 lbs for nearly the same price. Don't like it when automatics can out pull a standard...

 

that is alot heavier than my cub!

 

If my 97 f150 4x4 4.6 Romeo at that time had 220,000miles on it can pull this 400+ miles on an interstate then ur 5.4 can pull that 2500lb tractor.

late 80s 4x4 suburban on a 8ftx20ft equipment trailer (funny thing is the brand new chevy 2500 pulled the 80s camero back that the suburban was pulling when it broke)

 

thanks guys for the input this has helped alot!

 

2000 is nothing - Even the sixer guys can do that without breaking a sweat.


My old boat ~ 3500 to 4000 pounds total





My '71 Charger ~ 5500 pounds total
