If that's the pin weight listed on the weight sheet that came with your trailer then yes that's the "loaded" pin weight when it left the factory. That does NOT include two propane tanks, two batteries, all the food and camping supplies etc that we all load in these trailers. You can bet that 2246 pounds will turn into 2800-3000 pounds real quick.

When I had my Solitude 310 and was over GVWR by 600 pounds on my F350 I was close to my axle ratings. Were you over your axle ratings or your tire ratings.?

Probably a good decision getting the DRW. Bought mine 4 yrs ago after towing with a F250 and the weight of the toyhauler was taking a toll on the truck. The F350 DRW has no problems just a safe and stable ride. It's a little bit of a pain with our truck being the 176" WB but the 48 gallon tank is nice and the daily driving turning radius is not as bad as some claim. Congrats on the right move as I see it!!

Congrats on the new truck!
We pick up ours April 5th, God willing a safe journey home.
I'm about 800 lbs overweight with our 2021 310GK-R and our 2000 F350 SRW 7.3L diesel(114k miles) but it is a 2WD, and manual tranny, rated for 13,700 and the rear axle rating is 6850. Our total weight with no trailer was 7300 lbs. We are 2850 heavy on the rear axle at CAT scales with full fuel and 2 dogs + wife and 5th wheel hitch. So not concerned about maxing the rear axle out. Air bags and Bilstein HD shocks make the ride smoother, but naturally those upgrades do not improve towing capacity. But our new 14000 lb - rated Ford Duelly will help me sleep better at night!Last edited by Sportsdad60; 03-26-2021 at 03:55 PM.

You made a good decision. My last three trucks have been DRW because I'd rather have more truck than I need then not enough if I get into trouble. I'm full time now and there have been some situations where the dully has taken some stress away. Safe travels and enjoy the new truck.

You won’t regret the F350 drw, biggest issues will be finding a car wash that it fits into, (I hand wash) and it’s difficult to rotate tires with the Alcoa style wheels. I run the fronts at 80psi and rears at 65.

UPDATE: We finally have the new Ford F350 DRW vehicle in the driveway. We were told by the dealership where we ordered the new trunk that delivery was delayed to end of June. Since we were planning our big western Colorado trip for the end of June, we started searching other dealerships. I learned two things in the process. One, it is very difficult to locate a heavy duty truck in my area. Second, dealerships will not trade these if they have them on the lot. We had to travel to another dealership in the general area to purchased the new truck. End up with a few extra options than on the one that I ordered but no complaints yet.
