Raptor 300mp with SRW F350 Diesel?

We're looking at a used 2011 Raptor 300MP. I have a 2011 Ford F350 SRW Diesel. My head is spinning looking at all these weights, gross, combined, CCC, etc..

Anyone have any advise on this combo. I'm looking at towing to Sturgis from Vt. with two Harley Ultra Classic's.

My other concern is the garage. A 10' garage seems small to have the bikes and still be able to use one of the electric beds. In a perfect world I'd like to be able to load the two dressers and a smaller Honda Shadow.

    IMO way too much trailer for a srw truck. The gross weight is about 15k and with 20-25% on the pin that's close to 3.5k on the rear axle. I know you will say you won't have anywhere near the gross but after a season or two you'll be surprised how close you get when loaded assuming you weigh your rig. Of course many don't weigh their rigs when loaded and go blissfully off but they are courting a disaster. A dually is the safe way to haul that much and keep yourselves and us other motorists safe. And that is why I have a dually and I weigh my whole rig when ready to roll.

    Just remove the lower garage bunk and leave at home. The garage was not really meant to be occupied when transporting motorized toys.
