Toy Hauler Towing weight
Just purchased a F250 Diesel, then I bought 42ft Road warrior, I'm thinking I can't haul it with that truck. Any thoughts

I'm fairly certain you will be waaaaaay over the cargo capacity with that pin weight. My truck, '15 F250 listed in my sig, has a cargo capacity in the 2200 range according to the yellow door jam sticker IIRC. I can't even be legal with the 35-36' TH I'm looking at with a 2300-2600 pin weight and 12k-12.5k empty weight. I have the 10K gvw option and airbags. I'm certain it'll tow either 5th wheel TH I want just fine. With the Harley or atv's loaded, it'll drop the pin weight by around 200#, so I'd only be a few hundred pounds over weight. But, that's still overweight. I need to weigh the truck and get exact numbers before I even seriously consider a 5er. I should have bought a 350 srw.
Most of to 40-42' TH I've looked at have a 3500-4500 pin weight. I your cargo limit is near mine, you could be 1500-2500 over weight. I'd probably be willing to gamble with my numbers, but wouldn't even consider towing a 42' with a 250. Like others said, I'd be going with a 350 drw at a minimum, if not a 450.
