Depends on where you are hauling the unit to. Short trip to the local lake, no problem. Plans for over the road travel, you better swap for a dually.
I drive a 2016 F-350 6.7 diesel SRW. I loaded the Palomino TC on and about everything I thought I might need for a trip to Alaska for the summer. I stopped by the CAT scales and saw I was severely overloaded, GVWR and rear axle rating. My TC has a dry weight of 3000#. Actual weight loaded for Alaska, the TC weighed in at 5850#. Surprise, surprise.
I went home and started unloading STUFF. Went back to scales and then back home to unload some more stuff. All water tanks were empty for we left in cold weather from the northeast. All the weight was STUFF I thought I might need.
Ended up taking the trip to Alaska from Maine and back with STUFF that I needed only. Never missed anything and had a wonderful time not worrying about being over loaded or not having the STUFF I left at home.
I really believe the Lance is too much camper for your SRW F-350 for any long over the road trips. Keep the Lance, but swap for a dully. Keep the SRW, but buy a smaller TC.
You asked for experienced comments. I shared with you mine. Good luck and keep us posted on your decisions.
