Towing Question
Hey guys new to the board and I am in the process of starting a new business. I'm looking to buy a 06-07 F350 SD. Crew Cab or Ext Cab 4x4 Diesel (non dually) The trailer will weigh 13,300 lbs. Can this truck haul it or no? I keep trying to seach different things and I'm not really having any luck. Please help!

At that weight you may want to consider a dually. I think the SRW that year are rated to tow 12,500.
Try posting this question on the 6.0 forum. Someone there will have the truck you are considering and be able to give you better advise.
Maybe a moderator can move this for you . . .

Towed a double car hauler and two cars, all together around 16K... no problems. Mine is a dually though.

mws250 brings up an excellent point. I am a carpenter and have my own business. Having the proper weight class rating sticker, the proper documentation and the proper insurance is very important. I have been pulled over twice and each time I had all the right paper work and the correct insurance(commercial) and a good attitude toward the officer and have never got a ticket. The second time the officer tried to find something wrong with my trailer and could not, so properly maintaining your equipment is just as important. So if it was me I would have the dually just for peace of mind. I also know that in the area where I live, DOT and local police are always looking for a reason to stop someone. Hope this helps.
