GVWR for trailer is 16500 (11880 dry + 4620 cargo cap) TV rated to tow with a 5th wheel hitch is 15800. There is a large difference in maximum trailer weight rating between SRW and DRW and a lot of the difference is in the gearing of the TV.
With out knowing the year of your F-350 its difficult to say what your weight ratings should be. I have found the following link to gather the info on my truck.

Oh, and so far we love our Carbon 327 and are already working on some mods.

Since original post, we have upgraded our tow vehicle. As if July 2015, we are the very proud owners of a 2015 F350 DRW loaded Latiat longbed crew cab factory 5th wheel prep upgraded front and rear suspension and so on. This truck is so much more comfortable and secure while pulling our Carbon 327.
I felt uncomfortable towing with an F250 because we were actually exceeding the vehicles weight ratings. I would much rather have more truck than necessary.
