2003 F250 power stroke
I have a 2003 F250 power stroke diesel crew cab short bed. Want to buy a 303s or a 337 rls reflection. Will my truck pull one of these? I have 109000 miles on the truck. Your help would be much appreciated.

Can you tell us what the door sticker on your truck says about payload and axle ratings? Also, the 2003s had both the 7.3 and the 6.0 PowerStroke engines depending on when the truck was made. The 7.3 is solid... the 6.0 not so much. Either way, I'm sure your truck does not have enough payload capacity for the Reflection 337 (approx. 3,000 lbs. pin weight loaded). The 303 can put up to 2,700 lbs. on the pin when fully loaded, so that's marginal, too. With fifth wheels, it's not about towing - it's about payload.

The 2003 F250 payload can be anywhere from 2300# to 3300# depending on options. Sooooo depending on the exact equipment you have on the 250, it is possible you are good for either...or neither.

2003 F250 power stroke
So you may want to go weigh your truck preferably the way it would be loaded to camp
Do you already have a hitch in it?
If not that needs added as well
8800- truck weight = payload
It is the only way to know but from what I see you will definitely not have the payload for this trailer
It is up to you how to go from here
