Don't pay any attention to my signature, I have not changed it. Just throwing this out there and I know some will want to beat me up so fire away. I do not want a dual wheel pickup for a daily driver and I do not want an extra vehicle. Here is my setup and my weights. F-250 diesel, short bed crew cab, 7,500# air bags. Jayco Pinnacle with MORride pin box. I looked at the F-350 srw and the axle ratings are the same, 5200# front and 6340# rear. Springs are the only difference, hence the airbags. 20 inch Michelin tires rated at 3750# each for a total of 7500# per axle.
Loaded to travel the scale ticket says, front axle 4,640#, rear axle 6,900#. So I am ok on everything except rear axle and it is 560# over the rating. I have been running this setup for 2 years. It drives and rides like a dream, no bouncing, no bucking, no chunking and it stops almost as quick as the truck by itself. It will go faster uphill than I want to go. We went all over Colorado last year (including the million dollar highway) and not once did it feel unsafe. I guess time will tell what the 560# over on the rear axle will do.

The F250 diesel with the Trailer Tow High Capacity is the same truck as the SRW F350 diesel with almost identical price tags as well .... the F350 is $335 more than the F250. What was your reason for choosing the 250 over the 350? Has yours got the High Capacity Trailer Tow package?
