Need Help With New Vehicle Decision!!!

[Aaron Sullivan 14]

currently i have a 2002 F-150, a 2001 F-250, and a 2000 E-150 cargo van. I have had troubles with the 250 since we bought it last year, the 150 is not needed except to have an emergency truck to pull our trailer, and the van is ok except it is getting up there in mileage (82k) and it is a bit beat up.

so...

Running the scenarios, I am thinking of trading all three in an buying a new'ish E-350 cargo van and a little ranger (or something similar.) The van to pull the trailer or run solo with a couple of portable machines. The small truck to run estimates, pick up supplies, etc...

My question is this...can a E-350 pull a trailer and not ruin itself? I have heard both yes and no, but both can't give me any real reason for their answer.

I am vehicle knowledge challenged, so any help would help.

Thanks in advance,

Dude, with your dual 8000psi 10gpm machines, 2 1500 gal tanks, recovery systems yadda yadda yadda I would think you NEED a diesel to pull around that kind of weight. Im lucky, Im just a hood cleaner, ALL my stuff MAY weigh 3 or 4 hundred pounds. Did I mention my Ranger got 27.2 mpg last fill up?:)

I dont pull rigs around, I could drive a yugo.

you could put a 350 in that thing and call it we-all-go
