Nice! I have almost identical numbers to yours. How do you like the way your truck handles the load?

How does it handle it?
Well...
No Issues so far with the 3.73 rear...she pulls it just fine.
Gas mileage seems even or a little better than my TT, even though twice the weight.
Lot of weight on the back, new feeling coming from a TT
Timbrens are keeping it level and under control.
I need to check the adjustment on the 5'ers brakes, could be a litter stronger, I have the brakes on 10
More to come as I gain some experience with the new rig.

How do you like the 303 RLS? That's the fifth wheel I am looking at I have a 2014 F250 4x4 with 3.73 gears stock 20" wheels door jamb sticker 2864 lb payload with wt unloaded do you think I would be cutting it close? I only tow about 4 to 5 times a year only in New England sometimes in NH & Vt.

My grandpa bought a 11' CCSB F350 with the 6.2, 3.73 gears for on the farm. He tows a 36ft delta hydraulic dove tail with about 10k worth of classic tractors that's all the truck does. After 4 years it only has 12k on the clock, today we went and picked up a John Deere 4430 tractor ( weighted about 13k ). Yes the truck knew it was back there, yes it was revved out ALOT, but I was very impressed with how the truck handled the load. I know my past 460 or 7.3 would have struggled with it. I'm pricing a 15' F250 with the 6.2 can't justify the diesel and damn these motors sound sweet making power!
