I have a 3021RL Legacy and run at about 14,400 lbs. fully loaded. I had a 2019 Ford F250 SWR 4WD, but the kingpin weight was just about tapped out which made me nervous. I just bought a 2022 F350, longbed that gives me an extra 1000 lbs of kingpin / cargo weight capacity, 4100 lbs which I'll never need but am glad I have and I have a 30k GVWR with a 21K 5th wheel towing capacity. More than enough truck now but had to go with the longbed to get the max capacities. That's okay, I'm liking the greater turning radius too.
Where the F250 was getting 9 mpg on avg I just got back from a 3800 mile trip where I avg'd just over 11 mpg over hill and dale, along with thru the mountains. Same diesel engine, basically same truck, only thing different is the weight ratings, beefed up suspension and gear ratio. Clearly the F350 doesn't have to work as hard as the F250 did.
