Advice on tow vehicle

[Timmck36]

Morning all! I'm new to this forum and need some advice. I'm looking to buy a truck to only pull my Voltage 3950 TH. Once I pull it to my spot, I won't be using the truck at all. It'll be sitting there until I need to move it again. I'm not looking for anything fancy, just something that will get the job done and get it done safe. Being new to the scene, I'm not exactly sure what all the weights mean. I need to know the total weight of my TH when it's loaded down with the basic items. I.E. Couches, tvs, closet full of cloths, dishes.. Etc. None of my tanks will be filled and I won't have any toys in the garage. Here is the link to my specific RV.

I want to know if a 2003 F350 7.3 DRW will do the job. If not, what do you guys suggest that isn't a brand new vehicle. This is a last minute move that I need to make. Any advice is helpful. Thank you!

I guess I should have stated that when I’m barely moving it, I have to move it once a month from spot to spot and then I’m moving across country. Sorry. For the miscommunication.

That's a big boy.
Dry weight of 16000 at 42 feet.

Hire someone from the dealer....either on the clock or off the clock to deliver it to your site.

Otherwise you are going to need a 1 ton dually fully outfitted to tow...(expensive hitch installed, brake controller, etc.) Bigs bucks for a truck you are only going to use once...

You need to look at the RAWR of the 350, to figure out how much pin weight it can carry. The 7.3 is a good engine. If you can weigh the trucks rear axle, and subtract that from the RAWR, it will give you some idea what is left for pin wt. If the truck is in good shape, that should make a good TV.

For just the occasional move it isn't worth buying a dedicated vehicle. Save your money and hire a tow company.

How far is the move? May be cheaper to get a service to deliver it there if it is only one time.

A "dry" weight of almost 15,622 per manufacturer and cargo capacity of another 3,378 (a convenient 19,000 pounds) so the pin weight would be about 3,800 to 4,000 pounds. Unknown "real" weight. What weight will you be carrying in the truck...people, stuff etc.? What does the F350 say its payload capacity is? Sticker near driver's door jam.
