Having pulled a 40 ft FW with a 05 F250, 08 F 450 DRW and 12 F350 I know you can do it. That being said the 250 was definitely the worst of the 3 but depending on where you are, terrain and distance you will travel are variables that you know. If it was me I would take truck back and get a 350 while you may take a small hit there will be better value on the truck than trailer.

Agree with Chris, on tires/rims/bags, or move to 350 DRW. No point in 350 SRW, unless looking for higher rated stickers.
