Depending on cab box configuration the combined gross weight rating is 20,000 lbs. Take weight of your truck from 20,000 that will give you the trailer weight average is 13,000 lbs.

My truck has a new transmission, new turbo but having a hard time pulling up hills...what could be the problem? For example, it can barely tow trailer 3600 pounds plus small horse 1100 pounds. What could be wrong with it? I have to be able to tow at least 10,000 pounds. Has 251k miles. 2 wheel drive, 2001 Ford F350 7.3l diesel, 8 foot bed.
Fuel pressure. Basic test without engine running would be to take the cap off the fuel filter bowl. Key on the ignition without turning on the engine and observe the fuel flow into the bowl. If it’s barely trickling or flowing slowly you have a fuel flow restriction. If this is the case change the frame mounted fuel pump and/or drop the fuel tank and clean the screen filters in the sending unit. The fuel flow in the bowl should be such that you would be unable to stand near the bowl without fuel splashing at you. Hope this helps. Bosch makes a good frame Mounted fuel pump that is around 100 bucks. If your fuel pressure isn’t there all those expensive parts at the engine won’t do you any good
Check your fuel pressure and make sure your injectors are clean. The injectors are runon oil pressure just to let you know. I had this same problemon a 1999 ford f250. I hope this helps
