I don't see to many people ever say what their rear end ratios are and that is very important as to how much you can tow.
F-250 with V-10, 6 speed manual and 4:30 rears.
Cat scale weigh ticket
Steer axle 3,560
Drive axle 5,060
Trailer tandems 9,640
Gross weight 18,260
These weights are with 3/4 tank of fuel and 3/4 full fresh water tank and about five gallons between the thee holding tanks. I am comfortably under my GVWR and my GCWR. With full fuel tanks and full fresh water tanks and my trailer loaded for an extended stay, I will be safely with in the trucks rating.
