Hey guys, I have a 96 powerstroke f-350 crewcab shortbed 4x4 thats lifted a few inches and I plan mabey on using this as a tow truck for a toy I might be getting. I am wondering if it will pull a 38 foot fifth wheel toy hauler that ways about 14-15,000 lbs. I already have a ts performance 6 pos chip full gauges and 5 inch stright pipe. I pull a 27 footer toyhauler already and this pulls it alright just not enough power to go up big mountains. I am planning beans stage 2 injectors with his Dominator 66 turbo. What will I need tranny wise and will this be enough powere or too much? I want to be able to go right up the mountains at atleast 50-55mph. Will I need a hpop or a fuel system. Thanks guys it is cheaper to mod this truck out mabey a few grand than it is to go out and buy a new 08 F-350.
What would you guys do?
 
You might have the power you need but the you will be way beyond the trucks weight limit. Check the tag on the door jam to see how much you can safely haul. gvw verses gcw.
