12-13K real lbs is the limit of what I would tow regularly with a SRW. with a CC diesel it puts you up around 20K GCWR...that's plenty for a SRW

I gave up the SUV for a F-250 PS, King Ranch loaded up, got the short bed crew with a rear bench. I added a fiberglass locking cover and put a bed rug in the back. I'll tell you that I enjoy driving this better than my Suburban. The mileage is comparable while not towing, better than the Suburban while towing. I use the bed for tools and luggage. Lots of room in the cab. I chose the Ford primarily because of the interior ammenities. The Power Stoke 6.0 is a question mark. My origninal 04 had lots of problems. My 06, zero problems. I tow 11-12K and I'll tell you that this is as much as I would tow without a dually. I don't think I would want to go back to a burb.

My SRW Crew GCWR is 22,000 lbs.
My rocket-brain has done the math, and tells me that is still 2,000+lbs. more combined wieght capacity than what I do fully loaded with fuel ect.
Good tires, monster hitch, the right tounge wieght, no problem.
