Please help me figure out your capacity
I'm trying to buy a truck to tow my 5th wheel. I don't want to be one of those idiots trying to tow 20k with a ford ranger or something but I cannot get a clear understanding of how to figure out if ...

So how do I figure out how much I can tow and maximum pin weight?
Well...... now your getting closer.
Looking at page #5 in the clicky shows a F350 SRW with 17" wheels/tires has a 2600-3900 payload depending on 2wd or 4wd.
Now move on down to page 6 which shows a F350 SRW with 18"-20" wheels and tires has a 2500-4200 lb payload depending on 2wd or 4wd.
I couldn't come up with a '06 Ford crew cab 174" wb tow rating on their fleet website but the '05 and '07 F350 SRW trucks show a 15900 lb GN 5th wheel tow rating........and a 12500 lb tow rating for a conventional (bumper pull) trailer.
Remember tow rating are for all types of trailers. Some 15900 lb 5th wheel RV trailers will have way too much pin weight for a one ton SRW pickup.
