Towing capacity
Hi
I am looking at purchasing a 32' 5th wheel camper. It has a dry weight of 9000 lbs and a tongue weight of 2000 lbs. Is this acceptable for a stock 2002 F-250 Crew Cab 7.3 Auto? I dont tow great distances, but I dont want to be over my towing abilities.
Thanks

Figuring another 2,000lbs in crap you take along with yea. You won't be off the the races but you should be fine. I am slightly less than those numbers.
Watch the truck bed height though. Brings up other issues if your high. Or you will be dragging trailer bumper on the ground. There are ways around height issues. But can get expensive.
