The 2004 F-250 saved my family's life! It drove us through several miles of winding roads with insane intense wildfires burning on both sides of the road. It looked like the apocalypse! My dad kept her all these years with just 60k miles, keeping it in storage and bringing it out to maintain it twice a year. My husband and I just bought a ranch so dad gave it to us! It is such an honor that he gave it to my husband and I! My dad is a super passionate guy, so I know he adored this truck and now I will! Ours is rated to tow, i think, 14,200 pounds. I guess yours wasn't optioned right. Even for 2004 that is low tow figures for an HD truck, but it is gas, so it makes sense. Ours is a King Ranch edition, and has the turbo diesel.

I think you may be a bit off on the towing capacity. Even with the 5.4 base engine (which are extremely rare) it will offer a much safer and easier towing and hauling experience than your Tacoma or really any half ton, and it likely has 2 to 3 times the payload rating. Most F250s from that era came with either a V10 or a diesel motor and have a much higher tow rating as a result.

i drove a f250 5.4 5 speed for blue bunny and with a full freezer in the bed going up a steep grade the truck would struggle in 1st low. one time it actually was drug down the hill 35 feet back towards a marina. you had to approach it in 1st gear or get drug down the hill. other than that it was a good truck and did really well but on that particular route with the mountains it wasnt the best idea. truck is still running and we sent it to dallas to run out there 2 years ago.

The industrial freezer is heavy then ice then frozen food. You might as well be carrying a 5th wheel. Plus it a company truck. No telling what kind of condition it was in mechanically. A company vehicle are usually in Poor condition. Just check out the tractor trailers these days.

Thank you for calling it a "crew cab". That is correct nomenclature, which many choose to ignore now. (probably in a sad attempt to appear more relevant / modern in their use of terms.) Many reviewers call it a "Super Crew", which is F-150 crew cab verbiage.

There's no way you are right on towing. My 05 F150 is rated to tow 9500 lbs with the 5.4. I'm pretty sure the 6500 lbs is if you are towing from the bumper. With a frame mounted hitch you can tow a lot more.

Yes ypu can tow much more with a f250 than a f150 with the 5.4l. Th2le f250 5.4 is tuned more to tow rather than the f150. 5 4l which was aimed more at mpg, theyre the same engine just slight tuning

Not very good. The EPA doesn't publish numbers for the F250 but the 5.4 in an F150 is rated at 11/15 so you're probably looking at 9-11/13-14. Diesel is definitely the way to go if you want an F250 with decent mileage.
