What can a Ford F-250 Super Duty (6.7 diesel, gooseneck) ('20-22) actually tow?

rated 22,800 lbpayload 3,940 lbpickup bedfifth-wheel rating 22,800 lb

The rating is the easy half of the answer. A trailer never weighs its brochure dry weight — water is 8.34 lb a gallon, propane and batteries ride along, and so does your gear — and hundreds of models changed their published weights mid-run, so the model year decides as much as the model. Judged that way, with a 10% margin and 2 people aboard: 5140 of 5150 campers fit a Ford F-250 Super Duty (6.7 diesel, gooseneck).

The number that quietly binds is payload — 3,940 lb (Regular Cab 4x2 141.6" WB, 8' box, 6.7L diesel, 10,600 GVWR w/ F-250 High-Capacity Trailer Tow Pkg (535)): tongue weight lands on the rear axle with your passengers and the hitch, so a vehicle often runs out of payload well before it runs out of rating.

That depends on what you care about — bunks for the kids, build quality, budget, weight you'd rather not tow. Set your priorities as sliders and watch all of these re-rank around them, live, with your vehicle already filled in. Nothing gets hidden.
