That's the one, sorry I couldn't remember what it was called.

Still, a surprisingly high payload number for a diesel F250.

Pulls like a dream now.

Just my personal preference. Dually might be overboard, but the difference in stability between a srw is worth it to me. I can load it up and not worry about a thing and just go.

Same trailer for me also, Grand Design 337RLS. Pulled with a 2017 F-250 short box, super cab, diesel. Pulled really good but was overweight. We were going full time so traded for a 2019 F-350 long box, super crew, diesel. Much more stable than the SRW F-250. Now towing a Reflection 150 series 270 BN with a 2023 F-250, super cab, short box, 7.3 gas. Truck tows really well. There are times when I wish I had a diesel but it's not that often.

Yeah that extra 800 pounds definitely comes in handy. I think the 2023's have more F250s with slightly higher GVWRS of 10.6k and 10.8k. I think the CCSB F250, get a 500 pound bump in GVWR as well.
