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

The truck can handle it, as mentioned the difference between a 3/4 ton and a one ton is virtually nothing. You'll want some springs or air bags, I prefer bags because I use my truck all the time not just hauling heavy and I don't want to ride around in a stiff truck when it doesn't need to be. Overly stiff empty pickups get downright dangerous at even moderate speed on bumpy surfaces.
It's all about the wheels and tires. You're in the territory of either 19.5s or duals.
The rear axle rating on the sticker assumes stock wheels and tires, which are the main limiting factor. The axle itself is good for a lot more and it's the same parts that are in the dually axles.
The 3/4 ton axle is NOT the same as a 1 ton dually! Using 19.5 tires on a 3/4 or 1 ton requires either all brand new wheels and of course tires, which aren't cheap or using adapters from 8 lug to 10 lug wheels. If you think the difference between a 3/4 and a 1 ton is virtually nothing you best do some more research!
