V-10 Towing

I have a 2000 f 250 v-10 4x4.I am looking at a fifth wheel,a Wildcat.Dry weight 9285,gvwr 12000.I am not of the weight rating on my truck.I guess what I am really worried about is if this truck will pull the trailer power wise.We really like the Wildcat but we are also looking at a Salem,dry weight 7545,gvwr 11285.Thanks in advance for any advice.

What axle ratio do you have in your truck. 3:73, 4:10 or 4:30?

What size tires are you running?

Welcome to FTE!

What model F250 do you have (CC, SC, RC) and what wheel base length? That is also needed...along with the gears? How many miles on your V10?

Get back with more info...and I am sure we can point you in the correct direction.
