Right. With 1,660 pounds available for hitch weight, a tag trailer with 12 percent hitch weight could gross over 13,000 pounds and not overload the F-350 SRW. Of course, your stock receiver would be overloaded, but that's why they make the Reese/Drawtite class 5 receivers rated over 13,000 pounds with a weight-distributing hitch.
And the hitch. Don't look at anything except the Hensley Arrow. With a Hensley Arrow hitch properly set up, that 13,000-pound tag trailer will tow as good as a 5er - with no sway
Yes, the Arrow is expensive. But worth it. 5ers cost more than equivalent tags, so the tag including the Hensley Arrow hitch would probably cost about the same as a 5er with 5er hitch. Don cheap out on the hitch. Get the Hensley Arrow.
Weekend Warrior makes 5 models in their popular Wide Body series that are tag trailers with GVWR of 13,000 pounds or less. Click on the following link, then scroll down to the specs:
