Talk to FORD

250 or 350 Ford trucks have the same GVWR, it depends on how heavy your truck is (diesel/gas , 4wd/2wd, 4dr/2dr, dual wheel/single wheel) then deduct the weight of your truck from gross towing capacity and that tells you what you can tow. My 2001 CC/4dr/4wd/SWB/PowerStroke weighs 7500lbs ,my truck is rated for 20000 total towing, which leaves about 12500lbs to tow. My M/S weighs 16500lbs empty at D.P.S. scale, so Iam 4000lbs over (before Iam loaded up) limit. My 250 has air bags which does help on leveling and also isspro gauges for monitoring the drivetrain. So with me being over weight about(4000 trailer plus stuff 2500) do I feel unsafe going down the road? YES. When I see somebody in a 350 towing a M/S I know ( depending on year model) a 250 is rated for the same total towing capacity. When I bought my 01 both 250/350 ,single or dual where rated the same towing capacity.
