I recently ordered a 2019 Ford F250 Super Duty Limited 4x4 short bed SRW with upgraded heavy trailer tow package.
I am curious how much weight some of you have been able to comfortably tow with your Ford 250's with similar specifications?
Thanks for any help.

Ford has upgraded heavy service pack option and a camper package option for the F250 which basically gives the F250 the same suspension as a F350 SRW.
Of course we know the F250 with the 6.7 diesel option has the same frames/engines/tranny front and rear axles.
According to fleet Ford specs your 2019 F250 6.7 has a 6340 rawr as does the F350srw with 17" wheels and tires. Drop by your local CAT scales and weigh your loaded trucks axles separately in particular the trucks rear axle as its carries all the hitch weight plus everything in the bed. The trucks front axle carries little if any weight so its not a concern. Most 3/4 ton trucks have 3k+ lb in the bed payloads.
For the F350srw Ford gives the same exact truck nine different GVWR numbers all for the same exact truck. Point is just to show how silly the truck makers gvwr is and another example why its not used to determine a truck legal load limit.
If your concerned on your trucks legal weight limits contact your area state troop post and ask them that question. Not all LEOs are size and weight certified and may not know codes or how their enforced....but they can point you to a officer that is and can answer your questions. Give them a call or drop in.
