Sorry...another tow vehicle capacity thread

After reading all the doom and gloom responses, there are a few that are on the money. First of all, the F250 with the 10K GVWR package and the F350 are essentially the same truck except for the rear spring blocks and sticker on the door. The frame, brakes (yes, even the brake pads....), axle, all the same. I do have two questions though. 1) how did you get a 10K package with 20" rims? Those 20" rims and tires are your weak point. Get some 17 or 18 inch with LR-E LT tires. 2) 8300 pounds empty is very high. My 2005 F250 CC 4x4 short wheel base diesel (6.0), essentially the same configuration as yours, was 7600 pounds empty except for a full take of fuel. Big difference.

I towed my KZ 33' toy hauler all over the Rockies with no issues at all. Pulled it fine, hauled like a dream, stopped extremely well.
