Aggieland | I am trying to figure out a what will it take to haul it and what is the most it can haul scenario?
F350 with a gooseneck flatbed.
F450 with a gooseneck flatbed.
What is the most I can legally haul and what license is required?
15,000# of actual load
20,000# of actual load
Will either of my above scenarios haul either of these weights?
If I understand correctly the trailer GVWR is the maximum that the trailer can weigh. So a 30,000# GVWR trailer that weighs 9,000# empty can haul 21.000# of load? Right?
But what I don't understand is the pickup truck. The F350 & F450 says it has a maximum conventional towing capacity of 19,000# and a GVWR of 14,000#.
What I want to believe is that the truck PLUS the weight the trailer exerts on the truck cannot exceed 14,000#.
This would then lead me to believe that I can use a F350 or 450 with a 30,000# GVWR trailer to haul a 20,000# load with a Class B drivers license LEGALLY since the combined GVWR is over 25,000#? But what is the 19,000# of conventional towing capacity?
I hope my ramble makes sense and that someone can verify this information.
Thanks
Caleb
