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...

Wow has this gotten out of hand.

I'd hook up to 16,000 pounds any day of the week with my 3500 Ram.

No way you need an F450/F550 for those weights.

Besides, until recent model years, the ONLY difference between the F 350 and the F 450 was rear axle ratio. Tires, everything the same for a few model years there.

Now Ford, in a very good move, has gone back to selling true F450's, with the 19.5 tires.
