Just purchased a F250 Diesel, then I bought 42ft Road warrior, I'm thinking I can't haul it with that truck. Any thoughts

You need to look at the numbers, truck, and trailer. You will likely be over trucks GVWR, due to class 2 restriction. You need to look at truck RAWR/tire max rating.

To get opinions, you need to post trailer weight numbers also.

You're probably thinking correctly. It's not the towing capacity but, rather, the pin weight of the loaded trailer on the rear axle of a 3/4 ton truck. Take 23% of the GVWR of the trailer and use that as the loaded pin weight for estimations. Scale your truck with fuel, passengers, hitch, and all your stuff and subtract the actual weight of the rear axle from the GVWRR (gross vehicle weight rating rear) on the truck's door sticker. You'll most likely be in the danger zone.
