Trying not to hijack this thread but I am in the same predicament. I have an 07 f350 SRW 4x4 crew cab. I bought this to tow my 32 foot WW bumper pull. Towed it with no problems. I sold that and I've had a class A for the last few years, sold that and now found the perfect 09 WW CLD 4005. I was pretty much ready to go pick it up when it dawned on me that it's pretty heavy. 18,000 pounds with a 2800lb pin weight. I'm having a pretty hard time figuring out what my 07 can handle. What I've found. With 4:30 gears I have a 26k gcwr I have not weighed my truck since I had the bumper pull years ago, I would think its at least 6k. That leaves 20k. Is that to close? I see these trucks pull these massive toy haulers all the time. What can I do to my truck short of adding wheels can I do

haha Yea, your correct, I think I'm just avoiding doing this because I'm not sure I want to know..... Checking out some used 550's now..
