Our plan is to buy a new Ford F350 diesel single wheel crew cab long bed 4x4. The GVWR will be 12,400. I am just beginning to understand tow and pin weights. I have no doubt the truck can pull it but will be legal with the pin weight? Two adults in the truck and not a lot of gear in the back seat. My guess is the trailer will be loaded with the average amount of gear.
My buddy just bought the same truck you listed above. His yellow sticker states 3150lbs as his max payload. Not enough truck for the trailer. You need a dually.
