A F250 has a 6100 rawr.
Your crew cab 4x4 may have a rear axle weight in the 3000 lb range which leaves around 3100 lb payload to carry the trailer pin weight/hitch/people and gear in the truck. If your truck came with the heavy service package it has the same spring package as the F350 SRW. The rest of the trucks are identical
Your F250 truck will be fine with that size trailer.
I pull a 11200 -11400 gross weight 5th wheel rv trailer with a 2500 Dodge/Cummins. This truck has a 6000 rawr and gross rear axle loads run in the 5100-5300 lb range depending on how much "stuff" the wife loads in the trailer.
I weigh all my trucks/trailers, rv and non rv, so I know exactly how much payload each vehicle has.
Regardless of which weight number you choose to determine how much load the trucks rear axle is carrying you really need to weigh your trucks front and rear axles. That way you know if your exceeding a axle/tire or wheel capacity. Don't guess..... get'r weighed.
