It also depends on the 250 as well. In most cases the 250 will have no wiggle room, but some will have plenty. My 250 diesel had a gvwr of 8,600 lbs and weighed 6,500 lbs, so only 2,100 lbs of payload. My sd gasser has a gvwr of 8,800 lbs and only weighs 5,600 lbs, so 3,200 lbs of payload and plenty of wiggle room. For that year model the 250 was identical to the 350 that had a 9,900 lb gvwr, or 4,300 lbs of payload. I would feel comfortable from a legal or truck capability standpoint with my current 250 but not my last one. Like you and others have said, the actual weight of his truck and his trailer are the only way to figure it out. In this case I would recommend a 350 srw or dually, but think a 450 is overkill.

Wieghed the work rig tonight at the company scales, 9752 lbs. Bare *** minimum f350 CC. manual windows AM/FM radio vinyl seats 6.7 engine. It has a large utility shell made out of aluminium and I carry a TON of electronic parts (not heavy) and a good selection of Electric over Hydraulic valves and actuators (VERY heavy) not really important to the thread, but interesting to see what peoples rigs weigh in at.
