I'm concerned about your statement "I'll have some type of 350/3500 dually". The Raptor is 19,000lbs GVWR. In 2011, my Chev was the only one of the big three rated for over 19000lbs (which is what my rig is). So if you say "I'll have some type of 350/3500 dually 2012 or newer" you'll be fine.



A quick check of the 2011 Ford towing guide gives at least one other manufacturer to prove that statement incorrect... >21k F350, >24k F450.


Exactly, and I have one of those.
