According o Heartland dry weight is 14595lb and hitch 3000lb spec for is F-250 is 22,000.lb less 9800lbs weight of truck..still have16,800 lbs of towing capacity and 3700 lbs for hich capacity
Am I wrong??
All these numbers and acronyms can get confusing.
The dry weight spec and actual weight coming out the factory door usually vary quite a bit. It's not unusual to weigh 1000 lbs more than the spec, depending on configuration. Your actual weight will be closer to the GVWR of 18,000.
The pin weight spec once again doesn't reflect your actual loading. You should plan on 20% of the GVWR sitting on the hitch; about 3,600 lbs. It could be higher or lower depending on how you're loaded.
If someone has told you that an F-250 has a towing capacity of 22,000 lbs, they might be confused. A max around 16,000 lbs is more likely, unless you go to a dual rear wheel (DRW) configuration, which puts you into an F-350.
If you've seen a 22,000 spec on an F-250, it might be the GCWR spec. That's the Gross Combined Weight Rating - the limit for combined weight ratings of truck and trailer. If your F-250 has a GVWR of 9,800, and the trailer GVWR is 18,000, the combined number is 27,800. A GCWR of 22,000 falls far short of what you need.
Most owners here would not consider towing an 18,000 trailer with an F-250. Some people might go with an F-350 SRW, but most recommend an F-350 DRW.
