F250 toad--too much??

[bevans6]

Mine is 6 spd manual transmission, but the 4wd is electronic switch on the dash....flat towable??

No, not as far as Ford is concerned.  That is "ESOF", electronic shift on the fly.  Only the manual transfer case is towable per the Ford literature.

That manual air apply lever would like the slider on electric trailer brakecontrollers. The only reason that I can see to justify hauling that heavy a toad is being able to tow your coach to a safe place if it breaks down. Of course you'll need a way to control the coach brakes while towing, and an auxiliary air supply if engine won't run........
There are enough cheap used vehicles to become a toad so as not to haul that  big looong heavy truck around.

If you are that worried about the bus breaking down, fit it with a tow bar and then if it does go, rent a truck big enough to tow it. U-haul, Ryder, whatever. Park the (reasonable sized) toad in the back of the rental truck and away you go.

Thanks everyone for the input..
Seems to be a moot point now anyway since my "shift on the fly" Ford isnt flat towable anyway.
The toad hunt continues

If you can find a mid late 90's Jeep
Grand Cherokee, (in VG to EX) condition they are pretty nice, easily towed toads.

I towed a 1996 Sonoma for many years.  It was a light pick up with 5 speed transmission.  I now tow a '05 GMC Canyon.  I still have all the tow equipment for the Sonoma which I listed for sale in the Spare Tire section of this Board. There are a lot of these Sonoma S10 for sale.

Must be hauling a ton as my 2017 Ford F250 Superduty Supercrew 4x4 gasser weighs in at about 6400 pounds.

Well I must have been thinking of my after dinner gross weight .
Actually <9000 was the weight of my 5th wheel trailer. The truck is a tad over 7100. Just a little cixelsyd.
