With the dry weights once you add all your stuff your going to be right at max for your truck orjust over I would say,can your truck do it probably .I went through this when we first started out,your truck will get tired very quickly.I Upgraded to F250 diesel best thing I ever did big difference good luck
All due respect, an F250 with a diesel probably doesn't have anymore payload (exceed GVWR) than a properly equipped 1/2 ton which would be around 2000lbs.
Their are probably more 3/4 ton diesels pulling 5th wheels that are over their GVWR than those under.
