2000 F250 CC SB Diesel
GVWR......8800#
FAWR......4850# (4X2) 5200# (4X4)
RAWR......6084# (4X2 & 4X4)
Payload...2535# (4X2) 2110# (4X4)
***MFG. published MAX TOW..........13,000#***
You will run out of payload capacity and GVWR LONG before reaching that magical mfg. published max tow number (based on 150# driver, 20# cargo and base trim model)
Payload will get eaten up fast....
Your weight above 150# PLUS all passengers, stuff in cab (door pockets, seat pockets, console, floor, under seats, backpacks, bags etc.) plus 5th wheel hitch
All subtracted from payload number........amount left over is for wet pin weight of 5th wheel (20% of GVWR)
Example: 500# for people/stuff/hitch....leaves 2000# for wet pin weight--------that means a 10,000# 5th wheel
Keep those numbers in mind when shopping.
Better still is to get truck weighed.....CAMP READY (all people/stuff etc)
$10-$12 for CAT Scale weighing
You will get truck Front & Rear Axle weights and total.
See how those REAL numbers stack up against Trucks Ratings.
(Payload would be actual truck total subtracted from truck GVWR)
Used market...NUWA (HitchHiker), Artic Fox, Horizons for winter use
