Please don't take this wrong but a F250 or 350 with a pay load of 6800 doesn't sound right to me. In the days of old, trucks were called 1/2 ton,3/4 or 1 ton because thats what the pay load was. I'm not sure if you have ever had 4500lb in the bed, but you know its there. In my 07 F350 DRW the brakes and engine didn't like it. It got the job done but you better be paying attention to traffic.

I hear ya, Try that 4,000 pounds of grain in our '70 3/4 ton with drum brakes(no boost) no power steering. This was with a livestock bed along with the factory 4 inch lift blocks, puts the weight way up high. Better yet 1 large bull chasing 1 small cow around and around, oncoming traffic gives you all the room you want. Slow and careful.

Back to the present. Power disc brakes, power steering, much better brake pad material make things nice. Now if we could do something about the loose nut behind the wheel that drives like he is empty.

Must have missed something, did not see the 6800 pound payload rating on the 350srw. The max I saw was 4010 pounds payload.

6800 was the pay load of a 350 drw. But looking at the chart listed the pay load #'s look a little low. You get a CC 4X4 you better have a light 5th wheel or goose neck. The pin on my 35ft 5th is 2800. Thats with the trailer dry.
