Sure the question has been asked a million times and sorry for bringing it back up but as the title states, I got a headache from all the number floating in my head. Wife and I just put down a deposit on a used Travel Trailer, our first. We do not have a truck yet, had decided on trying to find a 2001-2002 Ford F-250 Super Duty with the 7.3 Diesel. So I don't have a official numbers, just what I've been trying to find in pdf files online.
The place I bought the TT told me that F-250 can pull up to a 10,000 lbs. The numbers have me all confused as one RV place told me to look at the UVW. So do I need to pay attention to GVWR or UVW?
Is there someplace online that I can find out if F-250 will put it fine? Or can someone here confirm whether nor not it would work? Do I need to be looking for a F-350? It's only a 27ft so I figured it wouldn't take much to pull it.
I don't know. I'm second guessing myself and driving myself mad. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeffrey
EDIT:sorry forgot to post pic of weight sticker from trailer.
I pulled that size trailer with a '99 Dodge 1500, 5.2L 4 speed auto,3.55 rear gears and did just fine. Towed it to the Black Hills and to Great Falls,Mt. If you get a Ford 7.3 you will have more than enough truck. JMHO
