How are you going to "officially" re-certify the truck?
Ford issued the original certification which considers the engine, transmission, brakes and suspension, are they going to redo it for your truck by re-analyzing all of the components as a whole? I didn't know a vehicle could have its weight capacities re-certified?

And to answer your question, I tow a TT that's about 8,500# behind an F250 2005 diesel in a lot of mountains and that's about all I want to do. I did tow an 11,000# track rig on a 1,500# equipment trailer for 50 miles last week. It's more than I'd want to tow on a regular basis. The cooling fan kicked on several times both in traffic and on a couple of short hills. The plan is to move up to an F450 in two years.
