Don't be fooled into thinking something below 2008 can handle that weight comfortably.
My 2003 F-450 would beg to differ. It handles our 15k fiver without breaking a sweat. Of course, my payload rating is just under 8,000 pounds and the 3,000 pound pin weight only drops the suspension about an inch and a half. I can disconnect the trailer brakes and still stop comfortably.
On the flip side, Truckasaurus is a darned uncomfortable beast when she's NOT pulling the fiver. If I run over a dime in the road, I can tell you what year it was minted by the feeling in my kidneys.
