...and when you constantly use all it has to give with a 6000 pound travel trailer behind it... that engine will GRENADE itself in short order.
Turbo gasoline engines are good for light loads and MPG. Not towing.
I encourage you to go hook 6K behind your turbo Ford and see if you really think it is made for that on a regular basis.
(It is not.)
Those numbers are more for a guy who tows his fishing boat to the local launch...or someone with a light trailer to go on vacation for a week or two...not constant hard use.
Those V6 turbos have a questionable lifespan without towing anything and a fair number of built-right-in problems Ford will likely manage like the previous (numerous) failures...(meaning they will ignore the issues for ten years or so.)
There is a reason why you will not find many in commercial use. They were tested and they failed. Quickly and rather spectacularly.
I advise you to keep trading in relatively new models if you wish to remain in love with the platform.
Trying to see trouble free 250K...especially towing the numbers you quoted...is little more than an unrealsitic dream.
