That truck looks like a 2002, but it is definitely not newer than a 2004 because the 2005-2007 model Superduties had a different grille and headlights. In the era of this particular truck the F-250 had a GVWR of 8,800 lbs and the F-350 9,900 lbs. Given it's a crew cab 4x4 diesel, it likely weighs minimum of 7,500 lbs with only the hitch in it. My 1996 F-250 S/C 4x4 SB diesel weighed 6,900 lbs empty leaving a whopping 1,900 lbs for passengers, cargo, hitch, and pin weight.
Did overloading cause this accident? Who knows. Was this truck overloaded towing that toyhauler? Quite likely yes.
