WY, OK
<p>You didn't say what year F350 but any '05+ have the bigger brakes which are much better for a heavier load, plus the built in tow command with an auto. We have a 24' tandem dually that I have had loaded up to around 25K just with the trailer and its load, 32K GCVW, pulled it with an '05 F350 SRW, didn't stop on a dime and wasn't as stable as our F450 is but it worked for short trips. We use our 24' to haul everything but the backhoe which weighs in around 20K alone, haul all our ag tractors with loader and chloride weighing in around 14K with no trouble at all. It is a lot handier than loading them on the semi then trying to get into tight places and doing a lot of offroad, figure the semi is nice when hauling two tractors at once or a tractor and implement.</p><p> </p><p>Also a B&W is the way to go for a hitch, they are rated to 30Klbs and turnover to keep your bed useable.</p>
