Your truck should have a CGVW of about 20,000#'s. Your trailer probably weighs about 3000#, your truck about 7000#'s. That leaves about 10,000#'s load on the trailer. Adjust the weights I "guessed at" and you can get a pretty close number of what you can haul. For short trips close to home, you could go higher, but I'm figuring on a long haul...With our F350 SRW, we pull a 20,000# GVW GN trailer, but can't really load the trailer to it's capacity since it would exceed the rating of the truck. In the Ford power stroke, the weak link in the drivetrain is the clutch/pressure plate. We've towed close to 26,000#'s (including truck weight) before, but that was a special case off-road.
