Enough truck?
We purchased a Solitude 380 FL which is in the process of being built as I post. We have a 2016 F-350 DRW cc 4x4 which has a gvwr of 14000 and a max tow of 12,100. The trailer is rated @ 16800 gvwr and a hitch weight of 3052. I’m confused on how the numbers work, do I have enough truck??

You're mixing numbers. The gvwr is 16800 but you show a pin weight based on the trailers empty weight. You need to assume closer to 3,500 lbs. Check the payload sticker in your drivers side door jam. If your 350 is an SRW, I doubt you have the payload, If it's a DRW, you're probably golden.
PS, there's no doubt your truck can 'pull" the trailer but it's all about what the truck can carry.Paul "Poppy" and Deb Cervone

Ok thanks for the info, now I’m totally confused. GCWR is 31900 and payload is 5112 I think. So I think I’m good!

Put you mind at ease. I have a 2016 F350 Dually, 6.7 Crewcab, 4x4 with a payload of 5270 lb and I'm towing a Momentum 394.....GVWR of 20,000 lbs. I am within all of the weight ratings of the truck and you will be well under what I am.

Suspension Upgrade
Can you have heavier coil springs installed to address the cargo weight issue?
