Curious why the 2004 F350 that I had stated that for "conventional" towing the max trailer weight was 12,500# whereas "fifth wheel" towing max trailer weight is 13,000#. The GCWR was 20,000# for either. The 2011 Dodge I bought just states that the max "trailer" weight for this rig is 13,250# with a GCWR of 21,000#. Of course I was a bit surprised to find such a small difference in trailer tow max ratings between the 2004 F350 SC LWB 6.0L PSD 3.73:1 4X4 SRW truck and this 2011 Dodge 3500 CC LWB 6.7L CTD 3.73:1 4X4 DRW truck. I know the payload rating is substantially different but the trailer tow ratings aren't.
