Another towing question

I have a long bed 2015 f350 4x4 srw diesel truck. I just recently sold my fifth wheel and am thinking of getting a keystone impact 361 toy hauler with a gross weight of 17000. Is this truck good enough for that and can someone tell me how when you look at the weight ratings of your truck you figure this out in laments terms.

    Owners' manual I would think.

    When I went to purchase a towing vehicle, I ordered a 7000 pound "towing package". Therefore, I knew I could tow up to 7000 pounds with this particular F-150.

    Loaded the 750 pound Harley in the 8 ft. bed and towed a 4000 pound TT. Never a hint of a problem.

    Some dealers (especially those with a good pickup truck section) can be of great help.

    But then again, it's up to you to research from any and all sources to figure what engine and "packages" you will need to tow what you want.

    g'luck!
