Towing Heavy 5er with SRW Truck
I personally don't as my unit is 11k dry. I see a lot of SRW diesel trucks (newer models which I know handle more than older ones) towing huge 5th wheels or toy haulers. Any of you have a setup ...

I'm impressed that your truck doesn't need a hitch to tow it. Must be something new with the Fords :W
OP- I would be amazed to find someone with a 3/4 ton who can tow to the manufacturer's maximum tow ratings without being over their truck's GVWR or RAWR.
Over GVWR, sure, but well within GRAWR, I could put about another 900# on the rear axle, and due to the Camper package the tires while not listed on the VIN sticker are listed on the build sheet as 265/75-16E at3,414# each.
My issue is my TV passed the Highly Scientific weight test, of sitting the 5er on the hitch and lifting the landing gear and dropped very little and was still better than level. There are new 250/2500, and 350/3500's that don't do that within their numbers and end up with squat and need bags to level within limits.
