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.
All fine info, however the failure to wear his seat belt got him killed as I posted in the first post of this thread. Chris
