The diesel receiver rating is 14000 lbs / 1400 TW, so a TT closer to 10000 @ 15% TW is still within specs. If going FW, then diesel is again a better choice because of larger frontal area than TT, IMO.
Thanks for mentioning this. The F250 gas has a 1250 WDH limit on the receiver. That 1,250 is after the distribution system has been applied? I hope it doesn't mean the weight of the hitch prior to distribution.
