Granted a new dually will prob tow just as well if not better, I just couldn't take on the cost of one... Good luck!!

Wow I thought an F550 would be heavier than that. I just hit the scales with my 3500 today. This is the first time I've had the 5er fully loaded with full water tanks so had to see how it looked.
Steer: 4260
Drive: 6700

Nice to have a GAWR Rear of 9375, GAWR Front of 5600, and a GVWR of 13,000. Still a lot of room for more cargo, but I can't think of any more crap I would want to pack, other than the occupants. I have to add 700 lbs to the cargo for the family of 5, but still well under what the dually can carry.
