Re: 2006 F250.....HOW MUCH FIFTH WHEEL CAN I PULL.....weight of fifth wheel
A F250 Diesel pulling only a 8k trailer is the sadest thing I've seen. 8K trailers are made for F150.
DO NOT LOOK at the weight of the trailer unless you would be coming close to the GCVW. For you to do this on an F250 is a really big 5th and you will be gobs over the GVW.
It's all about the PIN weight.
Weigh your truck fully loaded. Subtract that from the GVW and that is your max pin weight.
My truck 7400lbs loaded with full tank of gas.
Fifth 12K lbs. loaded. Length 35feet.
Pin 2000 lbs.
It's about loading and how it's built. Search for a 5th from a company that realizes that they have to lower the pin weights. Take a look at the Heartland RVs.
