Looking for some thoughts on a weight question, friend needs to move her 5er to new site about 10 kms, gvw 15500#, my truck f250 rated at 13000, hitch is 24000#, i would not do this normally nor for any distance. My question is can my springs take this for this short distance, and what other possible consequences could i cause.
Your F250 should have a 6100 rawr. The trucks rear axle may weigh in the 2900-3000 lb range leaving approx 3100-3200 lbs for a in the bed payload. The RAWR includes the lessor numbers of tires/wheels/ rear spring pack/axle assy.
If your truck has the camper package option or heavy service package it will have the same front and rear spring packs as the F350 SRW.
The axle assy is the same as the F350SRW.
OEM wheel capacity is the weak link on later model trucks today.
Like all work trucks make sure your tires/wheels capacity are up to safely carrying the load you place on them.
