Apparently you are talking about pulling a trailer weighing about 15k to 16K pounds? I think that will be too much for an F-350. I have the 2001 version of that truck, crew cab, single rear wheels, 6 speed manual trans. I pull a 5th wheel camper that weights about 11K pounds loaded and I would not want to go too much more than that. I would not think of pulling more unless I had dual rear wheels.

My truck weights more than 7,250 pounds empty. If the one you are looking at is comparable, your gross combined weight will be well over 20K. That will likely be over the rated CGVW weight (note other peoples points about saftey and insurance) and too much for the 7.3L Powerstroke, 3.73 ratio and automatic transmission to pull reliably.
