Janice...that payload seems way low for a 2015 F350 gas truck!! You may have one of those 350s with a 10K GVWR, which can be ordered for licensing and registration etc.
To tow a FW, most all the pin wt will be on the rear axle, and rear tires. So the numbers you need to look to are the RAWR, and max tire rating on sidewall. You should be able to carry/tow about any size FW that your 6.2 engine will pull. If you have 3.73 gearing about 12,000 lb FW. If you have 4.30 gears about 15,000.
You don't say if you have the factory FW prep pkg. If so the B&W 3300 for it is only about 150 lbs.
If looking at FWs weighing 10k, or less, your truck will handle that with room to spare!
