Greetings, Gang!

Hope I have this in the right category.

I'm starting research into something to replace my Ford F250 to tow the Fox.  Even if I put the Fox on a diet, it will still be about 9500 pounds on the hoof.  I'd like to have 4WD this time around, since I can't take my little Raider with me.

Does anyone know of a vehicle data base that is searchable by towing capacity?  There aren't that many 4WD vehicles that can safely tow the Fox.  I know that having 4WD diminishes towing capacity.  In trucks I'd like extended cab, short bed.  I might even go with a Suburban-type vehicle this time.

TIA for your help!
 
You can research truck tow capacities on the Trailer Life web site. You can find the list of tow vehicles and their ratings for the years 1999-2008 here:

For 2009/2010 TL has a new searchable database that is logo'd FORD but seems to contain all makes and models. Maybe even multiple years, though I haven't looked into it deeply.  See here:

Thanks for the tip!  I forgot to mention that I can only afford an older vehicle, around 2000/2001.

I'll give those sites a try.
