I have a 2008 f-350 dually crew cab with the 6.4l diesel. It weighed in today at 9000 pound full of gas. I figure with the 1000 pounds added for the wife and kids and dog and me+our stuff I have only 3000 pounds left. How come I see so many extra large TC on the back of non-duallies. Are people over weight? is my truck just heavy or what. My GVWR is 13000 pounds a non dully is 11000. I am looking into getting a TC just sold my 43 foot toy hauler and just want to get back to camping in remote areas. But can't seem to find on that fits all of us and is within the weight limits of my truck. What is your opinion on the weight issues?
Thank you all have a great day
I suspect a lot of people are over weight. One of the issues is having a diesel. They are great for pulling but not so great for hauling since they weigh so much. For example, checking the 2013 Ford specs in a F-350 DRW 4x4 the gas version can haul almost 1,000 lbs more than the diesel version.
