I just inherited my grandfather's 2000 Ford F150 7700. Beings I have this truck, I'm selling my 1994 F250 (anyone looking to buy...?) At the end of this month, I plan to pick a John Deere B I purchased 225 miles away. I have plenty of trailer - 19ft bumper hitch deckover w/2 7K axles - but am uncertain of this truck. The F250 would do it no prob but she's getting tired at 131K. Beings this truck is a 7700, it has a towing capacity of 8400 lbs. It has the factory class 3 hitch with a capacity of 500 lb downpressure and 5000 lb pull. I think I should change it out to a class 5 with 1000 lb down pressure and 12000 lb pull but it is a 300 dollar expense. Some co-workers think I can get away with using the class 3 but they have no financial investment in this venture. I really don't wanna see my new B pass my new truck.
First question - Should I have any concerns about pulling the trailer with this truck on the interstate for so many miles?
Second question - Should I change out the reciever for a heavier one?
It's a nice truck but I'd rather have my grandpa back:-(

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
