I pulled a 05' 3612 for thousands of miles with an 05' F250 diesel and would do it again. I would be cautious of the 12,500 lb. as mine was much heavier than the weight keystone put on it.

Remember that 2005 was the year Ford upgraded the frame, suspension and brakes in their Superduties which gave them a big boost in capabilities even compared to the 2004's.
