    Hey Guys, I have got to get a trailer for moving my tractor first and then what ever else may come along. The deal is, I have a 2003 F250 with the 6.0 in it. I am going to go with a gooseneck, and really want to go ahead and get a dual tandem, 20-24K. I know that this may be too much trailer for my truck and my needs at this time but I plan on going to a F350 next truck. I need this class trailer for farm equipment that I need to move. I do plan to step up with my truck but don't want to have to upsize my trailer to. How do you think my truck will handle this type trailer? Thanks

    You should be fine, I've seen a ton of F250s pulling those trailers, just remember not to over load the truck just because the trailer can handle the load. I've got a F250 6.0 also and they will pull a lot more than you should with one.

    You will be fine as far as power wise. Just don't overload the rear tires of the truck. If you get to much sag just add helper springs or air bags.
