Could be.. completely empty. Most 4200's are around 16k shipped. Add batteries, propane, food, water, gear, etc. no way he would be legal using the trailer for personal use. The programmer and bags are a moot point with GVWR. His vehicle only has the match the little yellow sticker on the inside of the door for delivery. Sure doesn't mean it's smart! JMO.
Valid points.. I personally am towing with a '14 F450. I found it odd when I saw the combo used to deliver, so I asked. Thanks for the input..
Howdy!
I've been there and done that. Our second 5er was dry weigt 16,000. Once we loaded it and I tried to tow it with a 2500 Dodge deiesel I quickly found out I could tow it but I could not stop it. I agree with everyone else. You simply don't have enough truck to tow a 4200. I seen it done with heavier 5ers but its a big risk you are taking. Check my signature I don't even use a 3/4 ton duelly I went straight to a MDT for towing fulltime. Good luck in your travels friend.

Well................16k is a little on the light side... My truck is a 06 f350 swr and weighed just under 8k.. Went to the scales and came in at 26062, so with that being said a 4200 is right around 18k!! And to do this with a 2500 , I understand its newer than mine, is crazy... Im an idiot for doing it with a 350 SRW. Granted I only have 2 trips this yr and they are all local, still not good and an upgrade is in the near future but to do this all over the country is just.....well........crazy. Most of the guys I travel with have short boxes with sliders but they rarely use the slider. And only in extreme, tight lots will they use it.. I use the superglide.
Pardon my ignorance... "OP"?
