If you want to tow a 20,000 pounds trailer without being overloaded, a medium-duty truck such as a "Baby Pete" will do the job. Yes, Peterbilt and KW both make the "little" single rear axle medium-duty trucks. So does International and Mack and others. But a properly optioned F-450 pickup will also do the job without being overloaded.

The F-350 SRW diesel will "pull it". So will my 10-years-old F-250. But not safely, and probably not without overheating something trying to climb a mountain pass with that much trailer tied on.
