Pulling a 5th wheel with an F350 2 door

Would there be any problems towing a 30' 5th wheel with an F350 2 door SRW with a 6.4 diesel?
I may have someone that might take my Lifted F350 dually off my hands.
It would cost too much to bring it down to a respectable height, plus there are too many things wrong with it.
I mistakenly bought it on an impulse.
I found a plane jane 2009 F350 2 door, SRW, no rear slider window, AC, Cruise, tilt AM/FM CD with 186,000 miles on it. The dealership finances there.
It will be a higher interest, but due to medical bills, my credit is trashed.
Would this truck be ok?
I would miss having a Crew Cab Dually, but I don't need a crew cab, and a lot of people on this sight told me a SRW would be ok.
  • What 5th wheel do you have? What does the door sticker say on the truck you are looking at regarding the payload? On the surface, that 350 SRW should be able to handle a 30 foot 5er with regard to payload. I am not a Ford person, so I cannot comment on any inherent problems with the 6.4.
