F250 to tow 27-Ft. Overlander

[ecotrailer]

Hi everyone!

I think I'm on the verge of getting the right truck for my Airstream finally, but it doesn't have as high of a tow rating as I would like so I want to make sure it's really enough. I have a 27-ft. Overlander: it does not have the original interior so some of the new components might add a little weight though probably not too much, and I don't keep other things in there while towing except for lightweight items like tinfoil, paper plates, TP, etc.

Anyway, the truck I'm considering is a Ford F250 with a V8, 5.4 engine, 8300 lb. tow rating.

Yes or no? I'm hoping it's yes!

The guy selling the truck (used car lot) says it is "tow-ready" and that is has towed before. Are there other questions I should ask about the tow package to make sure it can really handle this trailer?

Thanks everyone!
