I think you might have quoted the wrong person or misread my post. I wasn't the one concerned with any weights, was just trying to give some advice.

It is configured for towing and has one of the highest cargo capacities with limited additional weight. Its cargo cap is 3383. I searched for nearly 4 months to find the highest cargo cap. I could and never found one higher. Attachment 30749ie

My 2017 Ram 3500 SRW, crew cab, 4WD, Long bed, Laramie diesel had a payload of 4207#. You were looking in the wrong areas if you could only come up with 3383#.

Earl, my short bed 2017 crew cab F350 SRW FX4 shows cargo capacity 3,874#. GVWR package of 11,500 with a rear GAWR of 7,230#. Is yours less because of long bed?? (as I recall)

He should be more than me unless it’s not diesel or gearing. My old 2006 Ford 6.0 Diesel CC LB 4x4 payload is 3,661.

I tow mine with a 2015 F250 crew cab long bed SRW and our trailer isn't loaded down at all. I did put air bags in it however even before that it never hit the overloads. I have never felt unsafe pulling with it but i drive like a old man so there is that. At some point I would like to pick up a bigger truck, Im always looking for the right one. before that thought I plan on putting disk breaks on the trailer. please no comments for the towing police.

We recently pulled a 310gk-r back to MT from TX in april with our older F350 SRW 7.3L manual 6 speed with no issues other than the max speed I could achieve was 65 mph on flat road, floored!

I was overweight by about 1200 lbs but not overweight on the rear axle.

We are thankful we bought a 2021 F350 DRW in Feb this year before we left Texas. Pulls like a dream, kinda scary though, sometime I forget it's back there and found myself over 70 mph a couple of time.

I agree, it is easy to forget your camper is back there at times. Our F350 6.7 DRW Long Bed is a dream to tow with !!!

You feel so much more relaxed at the end of the day. I Love Adaptive Cruise Control !!!

If so, what is your TV? Are you feeling comfortable with a SRW TV? At max limit?

I ask bc debating if I need to switch out my F-350 SRW for a DRW first.

I know that the thought police are going to be after me, but here is a picture of my 310 GK and my 2020 F250 with Timbrens. As you can see there is no rear sag and it tows fine. Yes I wish I had a 350, but there is nothing around these days.

OMG, your going to break the space time continuum towing with a 250! Bahahaaa! Dang near same setup, almost same years. Sold a 2018 303, went to 2021 310 GKR. Pulling with a 2018 Duramax. Using Timbren SES. KR4UD 73's

Look good, so what kind of hitch do you have, I was looking at one but I have the PullRite Superlite #2600 towing with a 2018 dodge ram 3500, I'm not sure if I can get the turn radius that I need?
