Boy talk about a statement with no background information!!!
A look at profile 355RL stated in post that is is an Alpine, well looked it up on RVGuide.com.
2017 Alpine 355RL
Length 37' 11"
Dry Weight 10,670#
Payload 2,330#
GVWR 13,000#
Dry Pin 2,205#

I doubt that the F250 was very recent if I found the correct Alpine.
No real comparison, what year was the F250, what engine and drive train?
New F350 SRW or DRW gas or diesel what drive train??

If a F250 I doubt if newer gas it would exceed rear axle rating, even if only 6,000#, if over likely not by much.

I agree that Frederick made a good decision going to the F350, but if talking newer F250 and F350 SRW just paid for a VIN sticker with a higher printed GVWR. There are not any major differences between the two.

I will say we are looking at a new or lightly used Ram 3500 DRW as our next step. We do just fine with the current setup, but a would like to future proof the next 5er decision.
