How much can an f150 pull/haul?
I was wondering how much an early 90's ford f150 4x4 5 speed 5.0L can pull/haul without stressing it to much.
Depending on your rear end and it being a 4x4 you are looking at 6-7K lbs MAX when new. Now add in 20 yrs or so of life and unknown maintenance and condition. Even in good shape with good brakes and a solid motor and keeping it "safe" I would try anything above 4K. If the truck isn't up to the challenge you are more likely to blow a motor or tranny. If you second guess the brakes you could end up rolling the entire rig.
The M5OD transmission is going to be an issue, it's a light duty transmission with a flimsy clutch. When new it was rated to tow only 3500 pounds at most. The automatic version the same truck was rated for double that weight.
