F350 and 16K trailer combination

friend has a 2014 F350 DRW Diesel 4WD (not sure of cab & bed size) and a Redwood trailer (36RL i think). Trailer GVWR is 16K. When hooked up the truck seems to squat lower than it should cause it's enough to be high at the front of the truck instead of at least level. I would think his truck would be able to handle the pin wt. of his trailer without squatting so much. I (he) doesn't have any actual wt. #'s and he just got the trailer so he hasn't really loaded any personal stuff in it yet.

I'm looking for others that may have a similar setup (late model f350 as described above + 16k GVWR trailer) to see if their experience is similar or any ideas on whether this sounds right or not.
  • I have a 2013 F350 SRW CC 6.7 diesel and a Jayco Pinnacle 38FLFS which has a GVWR of 16K. Dry it is 13.5K. When hooked up, I have no issues with the truck sagging. My F350 has the factory 5th wheel prep option. I use the Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel hitch...not the traditional 5th wheel hitch.
