6.0 Towing Capacity?

[feusaf]

Any ideas what the maximum goose neck load would be for a 04 CC SWB 6.0? I'm thinking about buying a goose neck, but need to narrow down the max load of my truck.

Thanks!

Your truck should be rated for a gooseneck of just over 16,000 lbs.

Is that all?!? Dang, I just went from a 20 footer to a 30 footer! Now I just have to find a place in Middle GA that sells used trailers so that I don't break the bank...

a programer with a safe tow setting might get you were you want to be

I pull around 22 000 daily without problems it's a 51' car carrier and soetimes i go around 25-26 000 lbs (short trips) what you should check isyour goose neck capacity

You are also a dually! The 16K is what will be legal for the 250. I wouldn't say that you can't safely tow more than that because my SRW 350 is very comfortable with 16-17K in tow. The only problem is legal issues if you get stopped by a DOT cop.

Mine handled 17,500 pretty well...but definitely need to be careful....

What do you plan on putting on the flatbed?

I'm looking for an enclosed cargo goose neck to move my household goods next year...if the USAF lets me leave Georgia. I figure I'll need a 25 footer to move the house. A good friend of mine just loaded up his house into a 35 footer and it totalled out at 14,000lbs including the trailer. I think he sat on the scales at 22,000 and is driving an 04 F-350 dually.

I pull around a 44' tri-axe snowmobile trailer... 9 sleds and gear, tools, race gas etc.... and total weight is around 18-19000lbs... seems to do pretty well.... got 9.5 mpg and that was climbing mountains in wyo.... 1500 miles round trip
