I pull 16,000 to 18,000 pounds with a 11,000 pound F450. I am shopping around for a class 6 truck, maybe a Peterbilt or Freightliner. This should tell you something about using F350's or F450's for towing.

And yes, DOT is revising their thinking about pickups hauling for hire, too many guys are jumping scales and not following the rules. Rumor here in the Pacific NW is DOT (Federal Level) is thinking about going down to 10,000 GVW for required DOT registration, numbers on the truck, and stopping at all scales. This means full CDL and medical required! This will get all the F350's and 3500's.
I have nothing else to say. FIW the Sport Chassis trucks are worth every penny.
