Ford F350 super duty single axle 6.8 liter
GVWR: 11,000 pounds
Slider Hitch: guessing 300 pounds
Passengers: 4 adults 750 pounds(guessing)
Full fuel tank: 25 gallons 211 pounds
From the owners manual the GCWR: is 21000 to 2300 pounds depending on 4.1 or 4.3 rear end
Raptor 3812ts:
weight: 13229
cargo weight: 4771
hitch weight: 2980
What do I do with all these numbers in order to determine what I need.
Thanks again

Wow. Factory hitch weight of 2980 is dry weight. No water. no Propane. Add in the F350's passengers, fuel, and hitch, and you're going significantly over truck payload spec. By the way, weight in the rear of your toy hauler will reduce some weight on the pin due to leverage at the axles. BUT, adding weight in the front storage will add lots on the pin. So, just from the standpoint of payload, I think you've got problems with that combo.
