Are you or were you satisfied pulling your rig ? Do you think you need a bigger or newer truck ?

His truck being a 1997, it probably only weighs 6000 pounds empty. Those trucks were way lighter than newer ones, the 1999+ Super Duty probably weighed 1000 pounds more. I had a '94 4x4 F250 SC with a 460 that only weighed 5200. So he's got 2800 pounds payload. Having said that, he may be over on GVWR but still under on RGAWR.
Well that could be part of the difference, the other could be that my Ram is is a option bloated TV for it's age, not much missing except Leather and Alarm. As stated before I am fine on axle and tire ratings, just that darn 8,800# GVWR.
I don't know either. My 1996 F350 7.3 PSD 4x4 is only rated to tow like 12,200 or 12,500 from 5th wheel configuration. The F250's were rated at a lesser number. Though never doubt that the 7.3 PSD is more than capable.
