Towing 39 ft 15.5 k with 1ton Sw diesel - Mistake ??

Was assured that my TV 04 f350 kg ranch PSD SB 6.0L 4x4 would be up to the task.Hate to trade it in but need to be safe. What do you think? What TV do you use for a similar 5er? Been rving 11 months...

I do believe the ratings in 2004 were 12,300 max trailer, 20,000 max gcvw for the F350 SRW. You're around a ton and a half over, at least. Go to http://www.fleet.ford.com/towing-guides/ and download the 2004 PDF, the towing ratings are around page 18. Varies a bit depending on your options and cab size.

You were at the truck's rated capacity with your old 34ft Cougar, FWIW/
