i pulled a 1135 Massey tractor with the 140hp perkins turbo diesel here about 3 weeks ago on a 32ft goose neck trailer(i forget the name of the trailer seeing i borrowed it)and with the tractor weighing in at 13k empty and then the tires loaded and with 2 tanks of fuel it weighed roughly 16k and the trailer weighed 5k and my 05 DRW duramax handled it with ease allthough it was a bit scary seeing i couldn't get the trailer brakes to work..so what i'm trying to say is if you would rather run with the legal weight limmit buy a 4500 chevy kodiak with the duramax and the allison tranny and they get better fuel economy then the F-450 PSD but i wouldn't be scared to haul 15k to 30k with the 3500 duallys..
