I tow a 16,000# 5'r with a F-350 dually and consider that the max trailer it can handle. The trailer you are looking at is definitely in the F-450 class as a minimum, can a SRW do it yes if loaded right and NOTHING goes wrong. Even something as simple as a blown tire, with a SRW you will be very lucky to save it, at least if you blow a tire on a dually you still have control. In a cross wind you will at best be having a white knuckle day, kind of like exceeding the crosswind component and trying to land or take off or at worst being blown completely off the road, I've seen it happen, even to full sized semi's . I have been an over the road driver for over fifty years with over 5-1/2 million miles and have seen more pickups and trailers rolled up into little balls than I can count and most of them where caused by too little truck with too much trailer.
