to the original poster, I have a 1 ton single rear wheel and I have 4500Lbs of payload but that is a specal order payload package and hard to find. if you dont mined driving a dualy then just buy one and you can towany 5th you find, but at least get a 1 ton over a 3/4 ton. you might find somthing thats in the capacity of the 3/4 ton but the extra stifness in the 1 ton is worth its weight in gold. plus up here 1 ton trucks are cheeper than 3/4 when you buy new as they are exempt the luxery tax.

Steve,
What's the "special order payload package"? And which brand offers it? I'd like to order one, it would be $$$ cheaper than replacing DRW w super single.

for my year the f350 had a stangard 11000lbs GVR on it, with a package that would be upped to 11500lbs. I am not sure what else was in the package but you did have to go with the 20" wheels for it. just have to look at all the different GVW's for that year of truck and see which option had the highest. they might call it a camper special or camper package, or somthing else all togeather.
