Towing capacity
Buying my first travel trailer and have a question. My truck is rated at 12500 towing capacity and the toy hauler I am looking at is 9900 dry weight. Am I going to heavy?

But fwiw, 12500lbs is exactly what the rated towing capacity of mid 2010s F250s with 6.2/3.73 are rated…. And wait for it. F250 and 350 Powerstrokes with 3.31s, yup 12500lbs rated towing cap.
Jus sayin….
PS, it’s ratings like this that the less than informed get hung up on. Anyone really believe a 6.7 power stroke truck, any of them, isn’t more than capable of towing 6.25 tons?
Yes a bunch of 1/2 tons are rated that much or more. But they’re not suitable for the tongue weight of any 10klb dry TH that I’ve seen.
^^This...it is what I was saying, pages ago. Many capable trucks, 3/4 or 1 ton have a 12.5K tow limit, but would work for the OP.
OP??? Where is he? Dunno, maybe forgot where he asked a question? If he could just add a clue, as to what truck, with 12,500 rating, some could answer his question.
