This has been on my mind for a while as I am a landscaper and regularly tow 8-10K lbs. A 3.4 pullied + supporting mods L67 has around the same power and torque as this 6.0L in the work truck. Do you think that if attached to a good frame, RWD, and a good trans a L67 could easily tow 10,000lbs?

Doh, I forgot to add the heavy duty cooling system to my list. This is hypathetical as I am not going to buy a full size pickup and drop an L67 in it to find out.
Just an interesting thought considering the torque similarities between the L67 and V8 truck motors
I'm the only person here that tows with an L67 on a somewhat regular basis. I'll say NO.
Never tow more than 3-5k with one. These are FWD, and the drivetrains weren't designed to handle that load.
Don't do it.
