Linda,

I just pulled this from the Ford Trucks website....

"Ford Super Duty pickups have more towing and payload capacity than ever, 
making F-350 capable of towing a class-leading 17,000 pounds."

I understand that's a fifth wheel rating, but I have to say if it can pull 
17,000# of fiver it can pull the 34';.

I have pulled a 34' up over many mountains with my F250 and a friend's, both 
1999 trucks, and the trucks barely broke a sweat.

If the new Fords, Chevys and Dodges can't pull the 34 they may as well quit 
making them.

Believe me, they will pull it nicely.
