Let me throw in my two bits, even that I'm three weeks late since the last post. I started off with the BH back in July 06. At that time I had a F250 PSD 7.3. It pulled the BH just fine. My concern was the pin weight. I took it on three short trips, since I was leery of the long trips and asking for trouble. Last January, 50 miles from home, passing a Ford dealer, I noticed a Ford dually on the lot. Turned out to be a 06, like new, and only 7200 miles on it. The short of it, I bought it. They even got me a new B&W Companion on the trade-in. The deals are out there, and I feel better about the combination. Better be safe!
