Gila...my comment may have been misleading. I pulled a 10k bumper pull which is entirely different; my apologies.
As an observation though; towing a 14,200lb. 5th wheel behind a 250 would probably lead you to your problem. Ford is very evasive about posting specific payloads for vehicles....they very much want to focus on max tow capability which presents some problems at times. Look at the door specs for your payload and other weight specs. Payload is in the 2000, maybe 2100 category? Look at the gvw of the trailer; 14,200 lbs. Figure 20% of that weight as your pin load coming right off that payload figure...2840. 2840 pin less a 2100 payload would equal an overload of 740 lbs......just for the trailer pin....
