I'll play. 40' gooseneck, 9700# empty + cargo. This is for my F-350. For GLR: I will say aside from the difference in ride quality, it's barely noticeable back there at cruising speeds. About 17-1800 RPM @ 75-76 MPH.
If the load is really heavy I'll use the F-550. Trailer GVWR is 25K & we've been pushing the limit a few times. The 550 is a 2019 Extended Cab &Chassis w/ 4.30 rear.

It just means you have your setup done correctly. Saw a hotshotter this morning and instead of flat across, his truck was saggy in the center.
My 22 is still on order, but I plan to pull my small camper with a 6000 lb GVWR. We may upgrade campers in the future now that our tow vehicle will be able to handle it, but not anytime soon.
Hauled a F450 6.0PSD 4x4 C&C w/ a steel flatbed. Truck hit a phone pole & sheared off the drivers side knuckle, fender, and door. Winched it on my 10k trailer and towed it to a friends a county over who used it for parts for his 6.blow.
I was curious and ran my rig loaded and then after I unloaded across my buddies scales. 14' dump trailer with axles and LT truck tires set up by me. Had 17400lbs of crushed concrete on and missed my 30k gross by 20 pounds! Truck easily pulled it in 9th gear with no problem, just over 9mpg with 100+ miles. I may jump to a f350 dually but this truck has had no problems so far. Cj
I regularly pulled in excess fo 30,000 pounds with my old F 250, field to bin. No pics, sorry, it has been a long time back.
Loads of grain, loiads of coal, loads of firewood. Truck and trailer loaded to the nuts. I know, the weight police won’t approve.
