I own a lawn service, and looking for a bigger truck. Anyone know the tow rating of each of these engines?
Should I get a 04 or newer truck, or a pre 97?

You'll definately use more gas with a full size, but you'll also get more work done . I don't know the tow rating, but it's not the engine that matters for tow rating, it's more the frame, brakes, suspension, etc. that make the difference. However, the 351 and the 300 definately offer great low end towing power, with the 302 being a bit weak on the low end. The 460 is crazy powerful, but drinks like a fish...
As for which you should buy, I'd say that because you will depend on it for your business, get the newest truck you can afford. You prolly can't afford to be wrenchin on your truck when you are supposed to be makin $$.
I wonder if you can find a 97 f250 powerstroke diesel. Same body style as our trucks, but very good for your application. Good luck!
