Any suggestions on a quality built toy hauler with less weight?
I'm surprised you didn't post your questions in the toy hauler forum. Ask the mod to move you over there.
Trucks carry weight determined by axle/tire load ratings. Many F250 owners that have weighed their trucks front and rear axles separately report rear axle weights in the 2800-3000 lb range.
Your F250 has 6100 RAWR which leaves the truck with around 3100-3300 lb of payload. This is how folks with 3/4 ton trucks are pulling some big trailers. Doing so is legally how weight is carried and more importantly its safe.
The only way you will ever know how much weight your particular truck can carry is load the truck ready for a trip and weigh the front and rear axles separately. Work from those actual numbers instead of guessing.
Also todays trailer on average have some big CCC which many owners will never reach or even reach the trailers full GVWR numbers.
