Payload dilemma
So I have been looking at upgrading my F350 SRW to a dually. But I really don't need another debt. My current Ford runs really well and tows the Cougar without any issues. My biggest concern is the payload it has. The door sticker says that its 3074 lbs. With a pin weight of 2400 lbs, the 5th wheel hitch, the external fuel tank with an additional 40 gallons of diesel, the 3 dogs and us, I'm at about 3650. We go out about once every 6 weeks, mostly to local places. I know that a lot of RVrs tow over the payload of their trucks. Not that that makes it a safe way to go. But what are the real issues that I may not be aware of?
