Hi everyone,
1) My question is would you pull this trailer with this truck?
I'm probably correct is saying this is too much trailer for this truck, but I wouldn't mind hearing some real-world experiences.
I know that the RAWR is the weakest link in this set up. An F250 has a Visteon rear axle MAX rated at 6200# and the F350 has a Visteon axle MAX rated at 7280#. So realistically no amount of suspension mods are going to actually increase the amount of payload this truck can carry due to the lower rated axle on the F250.
1. No.
You are in 350 territory. Consider you might have as much as 800 lbs additional on your pin from added stuff. We do.
Consider something 2000lbs lighter if your going to stay with the same truck.
