The Silverback 33RL is approximately 11k# empty sitting on the lot. The GVWR of that trailer is 14k# and using it full time you are likely going to be close to that 14k#. That FW is dually territory (maybe some SRW 1 tons) but not a 2001 3/4 ton. You definitely have enough motor with the 7.3L powerstroke but not enough chassis/suspension
How heavy of a trailer would be max for my truck in you opinion?
If you do the maintence suggested by others you will have enough drive train no problem. Take your truck to a CAT scale and get the rear axle wieght. Look on your driver door panel for rear axle wieght rating and subtract your actual wieght from that. Multiple the final number by 5 (assumes 20% pin wieght which is typical) for maximum trailer wieght. My pure guess is your max trailer is going to be around 10k# wieght (which means loaded or GVWR of the FW)
