You are confusing "Max Trailer Weight" and 'Gross Combined Weight Rating" GCWR.
There is a slight difference in the 2WD and the 4WD version of the truck, but essentially, here's the specs:
GVW: 10,000
Payload: MAX 3540 (Don't believe it) my supercab is 2747 and lists at 3350
MAX TLR WT: 12,200
GCWR: 19,000 (Don't belive it) To meet the 12500 TLR weight the truck would have to weigh 6800 lbs. It's closer to 7000.
Trailer hitch rating is 12,500 lbs, the Sprinter max GVW is 10,995 with a 13% tongue weight at GVW of about 1430.
I'd say it's doable, but you will need to watch your tongue weight/hitch rating. Going to a F350, you'll see the same hitch installed, so getting a "bigger" truck won't help with the weight rating on the hitch unless you upgrade to a diesel engine or a dually with gas engine, then you'll get a 14K hitch.
