haha yes sir
as previously stated these trucks (although not legally) can handle lots of weight. Last time i got hay i set a new personal record for my truck of 22,300 pounds total weight with truck and trailer. We also had the cummins dodge with us with another trailer which weighed out to about 21,000 pounds. My truck pulled the weight alot better than the dodge!

legally, any of these trucks can haul 26,000# minus curb weight when you're talking about truck & trailer with a class C license... they can actually do it too...
as far as cargo in the bed... you might not mind a ticket for being overweight, but I'm going to at least try to talk you out of exceeding your GVWR... It is very true that a 5.4L F250 can legally haul more without a trailer than a PSD F250... but you knew that when you bought it...

What pleased me the most was I average between 11.5 and 12.2 mpg when hauling that much.

I do this every time I haul hay. 7,800 pound truck, 3,500 pound trailer, 13,000 pounds of hay=24,300 pounds. A good trailer, with good brakes, loaded evenly handles the loads just fine. My truck is licensed for 26,000 gvw and as long as I keep the axle weights in check on the truck there is no problem from the DOT with hauling that much.

i get 15 mpg empty with stock size tires and with my 35s i get 13.5 mpg empty. When ever i haul long distances i put my stock tires on and i got 12-13 mpg towing a two horse trailer with two horses and loaded down with all sorts of gear and water all the way to Vermont.

exactly haha when you work a farm you get used to towing or driving things that most people wouldn't even attempt. Listen to the song international harvestor haha chug a lug a luggin' 5 miles an hour. its all about taking it slow and knowing what may be ahead of you and speeding up from behind you.
