find an old 7.3l with decent miles, will do the trick

big time this.....

your not going to find something nice for that

honestly, some might call me dumb but for under 10grand something that you are only using to tow and your not towing something super heavy

get a v10 excursion, for 10k you can find one with under 100k miles



a beat to shit 7.3 with 200k miles starts at 10k here in California

2wd are cheap here,
but i'm up in the mountains where everyone wants 4x4

Well, You can actually get lucky once in a while and find a decent 1st gen cummins for 10-12k.... but still... spend 5-8k on a half ton any thing and be miles ahead.
