For some of us, like us, the idea of a used DRW truck may be worth exploring. Maybe a friend, or a used vehicle source such as Carmax. Our 2008 Dodge 2500 6.7 diesel has been a great vehicle, but it could serve someone else more appropriately, such as with a lighter fifth wheel or travel trailer.

Look at the tow guides for the trucks. It is all weight based. Ford 350 diesel SRW max is 16k I believe.

IF you are concern in staying within the specs of your truck there lot numbers you have to consider and the one you will most likely exceed first is payload before you exceed tow capacity or combine weight ratings. A 16,000 pound 5er could have a pin weight between 3,500 and 4,000 loaded ready to go camping.
When Ford rates those they are using a stripped down truck with zero options (not even a hitch) with 5er percentage of 15% and 150 lbs driver. Try find that combo in real life.

I advise monitoring the owner sites for the trucks you are looking at. Wish I had done that when I bought a new Ford truck with a Powerstroke 6.0 deisel. I could have avoided years of anguish and about $6000 out of pocket repairsbefore I finally traded it in on my Ram 3500 dually diesel. No comparison. Lots of free info on owner sites from people who drive them every day and know the good and bad

I bought one of the last 7.3 motors in my F250. Yep, you're right about the 6.0 engine having it's shortcomings, but the new 6.7 liter engine's fantastic. Even with a couple of sub-par diesels, Ford has still sold more diesel pickups than General Motors and Dodge/Ram combined. They just did such an incredible design job with the SuperDuty that it had a 18 year model run.

Actually the 6.0 was built by International and the engine itself was a good engine. What messed it up was the government mandated emissions.

I pull my 348 m which has the same weights as your trailer and did tow it with a Srw dodge 3500 but it just didn't feel safe so I bought a 2015 dodge 3500 drw and the towing is so much more stable now!
