The way you over load your van leads me to believe that you could use a Dually with a fifth wheel.
Here is what comes to mind when I think of you at 95 mph with 12K on a bumper hitch
Also a larger fifth wheel trailer. You could pull upwards to 35,000 lb's Then you would pay for the truck in 1 year with all the extra scrap double you capacity & be safe JMHO.
This is the best one for ya Bill ROTFLMAO

I do not have the third gen 3V V10,so You will out pull me.
I have the first gen V10 that ran from 97-99 with 265HP.
A 3V would out pull you, no question.
22K GCW is the heaviest I have ever been.
I need a bigger trailer, I loaded it to the bump stops and then started loading the back of the Van up. I stopped when it hit bump stops.
I only have axles for 17K GCW, so that is about the heaviest I will ever load it.
bronco, I have only taken pics on a few, but here you go.

I'm going to have to ask you and PHElectric to take your arguments elsewhere. At least until you have something uselful that you can post here in the form of an equation or theory. There is no place in the thread for logical stuff like actually owning both vehicles or comparing both vehicles with the same trailer on the same road. From now on try to begin all posts with some sort of phrase like "on paper" or "according to this formula", etc.

My brother-in-law has one with the 5.4L, and it can haul 4000 lbs inside.
That's more than I can put in the bed of my F250

Well an E350 is a 1 ton while yours is 3/4 ton so yeah that makes sense, but id rather have an f250 than a e350 that can haul 4000 pounds of salad and hamburger meat.

I definitely think you need a heavier trailer!! What size axles are those on there. I am guessing they are only 3500lb axles. If you would get a 14k gvw trailer you would be much better off. I have never hauled 14k on my bumper pull(and really don't want to), but my skid trailer is rated at 14k and handles 10k with ease. No sway issues at all, although loading it correctly is the key.

You have been on this thread a really long time. And your sig says your V10 will outpull your PSD any day. So why don't you meet up with someone on here and prove it? The way I see your rig setup, there is no way.
