Is their a F-150 4x4 that is capable of towing a 9,000 lb. tractor safely? If so, what configuration? I think I need to step up to a F-250.
I currently have a 07 4x4 scab with a 4.6.
Do any of you guys tow much weight? This wouldn't be more than 10x a year, for a max 50 miles.

If you are going to buy a new F-150 to tow that thing, get the max tow package, and realize that even if it weighs less than the advertised max tow weight, you will probably be exceeding one or more of the other ratings (GVWR, GCWR, GAWR). Max tow weight assumes a completely empty truck other than a 150 pound driver and a couple gallons of gas, and minimum safe tongue weight.
I would not try to do it with your 07. I can see where you may not want to use a F-250 for a daily driver, but you would be getting a lot better tow rig if you did get one.

It is heavier I'll give it that.
Fuel, I'd argue that point, especially if he's going to be running around with 1 to 2k lbs in the back of either.
