I have towed large dump trailers with my SRW F-350 weighing 27,000 lbs. combined (truck & trailer) to the dump, and a little over 36,000 combined with my dually (SLOWLY, lots of space between car ahead). Braking is biggest issue, handling only if you drive like you have a light trailer, which would be moronic. Otherwise, despite factory ratings, it was fine because we didn't put too much weight on the tongue, and it looked normal going down the road.

What ever your manual says... minus whatever negative load difference there is in the tires that you have versus stock.

How much do you want to tow?
