    We have a new 328m and we are pulling it with 2013 F 250 super duty diesel fx4 lariat srw.
    We had F350 springs added front and rear, truck has all tow package stuff, use a Reese super slide hitch for short bed, truck has towing 3.70 Gear package, no issues at all, we wanted a 350M but pin weight was just to much to where we would have needed a new dually and we did not want to spend that money, our truck is only used to tow and has less than 20 k on clock, and it's paid for. So the 328 will do. Brett

    Like most pulling with long bed dually. In my case 2015 Ford F-350 - 6.7 liter putting out 440 HP. Had Firestone airbags installed with compressor. With Momentum 385 pump to 60 pounds and no squat. Toung weight is around 3300 lbs empty so heavy load. Have Curt 24 k hitch. Good luck.

    We have a 380TH and pull with a 2015 Chevy 3500 DRW, allison 6 sp tranny. My old Chevy, a 2001, pulled the previous camper OK, but the new one is 4000 pounds heavier and it was not rated for the weight. I'm sure that it would pull it (with a struggle on hills), but the main thing is the brake capacity. Old truck rated at 16000 pound trailer, new 25000 (I think) pound trailer. Brakes are so very much better on a new vehicle. Power is also much better, even though it is the same 6.6 Duramax diesel - many improvements over the years. As for air bags, the 380TH has a 2970 pound hitch weight. I have a 7500 pound capacity, but the 3000 pounds does indeed make the truck squat about 2 3/4 inches. Not a lot, but when driving at night, it is a big pain for me. Oncoming cars flash high-beams a lot, can't see as far down the road as I would like. I bought Air Ride bags before I got the new camper and they have been, simply, GREAT. Don't care about these guys with other brands of trucks that say "My truck doesn't sag a bit", blah blah blah. A quick 35 pounds of air and the truck is completely level.

    If their dually doesn't squat likely not heavy tongue weight. The toy haulers are heavy up front with bedroom and underneath front storage. The Firestone airbags do the trick! Worth the money for a safer ride.

    We have the same truck 2014 model and we use it to tow 350M. We are looking at the new 376 which weights in at 19500. I am glad that I am over rated for the 350 M as I can change 5'ers without needing to change TV.
    PS still laughing as I tow downhill on Vail pass just using the exhaust brakes.
