Just got finished towing 400 miles or so from Wyoming to Las Vegas. Wow, very impressed. Towed this exact trailer with my 2011 Ram 3500 and there is definitely a difference. This motor is pretty impressive, went 70-75 most of the way and thoroughly enjoyed the drive. I loved my Ram as it went 80K trouble free miles, but this truck has more power, definitely more comfortable, increased braking power and did I say more power?? I’m still getting used to the mirrors but other than that completely satisfied.
That's a very nice looking rig, R2F. Congratulations, you won't look back. I have over 50k on my '17 6.7 and it's still nice and tight. Good luck and safe travels.
I switched from a 2008 Toyota Tundra 5.7L. Fit and finish seemed better on the Tundra but as a hauler the F-350 blows it away. The Tundra did a very good job towing the trailer, but could not have fries and a Pepsi with my burger for lunch without exceeding the payload capacity when towing. Now, I can toss a ton of bricks in the bed and still have a burger, Pepsi and fries for lunch.
I have nearly 9,000 miles on the truck with about 6,000 miles pulling my 10,000 lb trailer and have only one issue; I should have sprung for the adaptive cruise control.

I also came from a Tundra..mine was a 2015 TRD Pro model and it pulled like a champ but the weight was an issue..W my f250 i dont have to worry about that anymore
I would also like to know if you have airbags. Your rig isn't sagging much for such a large 5th wheel. Do you know what your pin weight and your GCW is? Awesome rig. Congratulations!
I do have airbags. Went with the AirLift 5,000, they seem to be doing fine. I added those as well as the B&W gooseneck prep and the Anderson hitch. I’d guess my trailer weight is a around 18,000. With my Ram and a fully loaded trailer last summer I tipped the scales at 26,600 lbs!

So I take it you did not get the 5th wheel prep package?
I believe I bought the only 350 without the gooseneck prep and the CHSML camera. I bought it used with about 14K on it but it had everything else I wanted... including the color to match the trailer.
I really wanted the long box this go round for the ride quality, and I didn’t realize how nice it is to have the increased bed space. Love the look of a leveled long box!
