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 drove a 15k class 8 day cab twin screw that towed a 8500 gal tank trailer that gross 65k. Trailer was 4.33 the weight of the tractor. My 5th is less than 2 times the weight of the TV. Chris



Same here Chris, my truck with me in it, full tank of fuel, full tank of DEF, hitch in the back with tool box was 9100#...5er weighed 16,300#..
