According to the 2016 Ford towing guide (quick access as mine is a ‘16), a 17k gvwr would put you in F-350 Dually weight rating. Single rear wheel (SRW) F-350 max loaded trailer weight is roughly 16k for diesel powered and 12.5k for gas powered. I’m sure you will find others successfully using a SRW diesel trucks, but that puts you over the edge of the rated capacity.

We tow our 2018 Road Warrior 427 with a 2017 Ram 3500 dually. Rear end gearing is the 4:10 gears.
Look out a dually.

Thank you!!!

You definitely should be looking at a dually. All the big 3 make a good tow vehicle. It’s personal preference on the make.
