Figure the actual dry weight will be 400# over the brochure weight, and that you'll add 1000# of gear. The only questions are what the tongue weight is and the payload on the F250.
A THOUSAND LBS OF GEAR! you must be joking. When I put everything I could possibly need or want in my trailer, I weigh it all as it goes in, and I have never exceeded 400#.
What on earth are you carrying?
Even if I added full tanks and propane (2/30# tanks) I wouldnt exceed a thousand lbs. But I drive with empty tanks and usually one propane filled.
