which truck is best

if the dry weight is 14,189lbs i would count on it being closer to 15 maybe even 16 with 30% on the pin you are getting close to gvw without passengers..you could do it, but if you have a brake failure it is nice to have two extra tires to stop that much weight...

"which truck is best?" MINE!

I am buying a toy hauler which weighs 14,189 and my ford F-250 has a max fifth wheel capacity of 15,900. Is that enough wiggle room or do I need a different truck ,which truck would be better dodge,chevy , or stay with ford I dont want a dually if I don't have to. Please help

Toy Hauler, ok now add all your cargo and the toys you will be well over 18K. Now take 25% pin weight, 4,500#. Now do you think your 3500/350 single rear wheel will be fine?????

I am sure some will say yes.

The responsible people know a Dually is in order.

Edit.

it just never ends,

today I saw a guy with a 1 ton ford F 350 duelly
he was pulling a toy hauler, triple axle trailer, had to be at least 40ft long.

now get this, he had a med size boat attached behind the triple axle trailer.

I bet that old Ford 6.0 was overloaded to the max with that load.

I turned one way, he when the other, the last time I was him he was still moving. what a load, the old ford was low to the ground under the weight of that trailer.

my friend has a 38 or 40 ft toy hauler, triple axle and he pulls it with a 450 ford, 7.3 diesel with western type flat bed. he said the trailer is a load.
I have no idea what a trailer like that weighs!!!!!!!!!!!

would not want to hook my old Dodge 2500 to it.
bet it would try to put it for a while,
