Do you think it would be that much less? I would guess a s185 would be JUST under the weight of your s250, and the S300 would be just over.
Some people just dont realize the importance of the proper sized trailer though!

Tha skid steer I was pulling was in the 6000 to 7000lb range, so I wasn't over the trucks limit.

last monday i seen an '09 F450 towing a full sized excavator on a goose neck triaxle. i'd venture to say he was over weight also, but the truck was moving with traffic no problem and the truck wasn't squat much!!

S 300 must weigh over 8000 lbs. Way over what an F150 can tow anyway with a 2000lb trailer you are up to what 15000 GVCW I don't think an F150 can tow that legally anyway. Correct me if I am wrong.
A full size hoe behind an F450 the guy must be on drugs. A 35,000 lb machine behind an F450 Duh.

I`m pretty confident your correct and also just the standard factory hitch might not be rated for any where near that weight.
Sherm or someone else may have a better idea of what the maximum allowable limit is on an F150.
Nice to see you back on here again Duncan! Will you be able to make it to Radisson`s car show this year?
