Does that sound doable?

I would estimate you'll be close to your max towing weight but probably OK. Your F-250 must be a newer one if you have 3500 pounds with 3:73. What year is it, cab size and engine?
For budget reasons I'm looking 2006 to about 2012 Ford. The earlier F-250's with 4:10 could
just do 14K but cargo weights are low. Back to thinking F-350 as some of the trailers I'm looking at could run 15-16K
