So, what's everyone's weight guess on the f350 with service body in the for sale section?

Big tow pig just got a new clutch and it's not 100% broken in.

I've towed sketchier things, but could stand to get it with my Sequoia. Yes, i know it'll be heavy. Thinking i can get away with 8k. It's rated for 7.


Edit
I also have a WD hitch i can use for it. I added this comment after @Ron response.

Ive got a 95 with a very very beefy flat bed on it that I'd wager weighs more than the service body.

Ive towed it behind my tundra and it handles it fine. The Sequoia is basically a tundra, but has additional rear weight of course.
 
My bet is just over 8000lb... I think the sequoia'd be fine with the WD hitch, as long as the trailer isn't over 2k and has good brakes.
 
6400 pounds

This was under your response. I don't care how or why but I deemed it fit you. Pretty sure I'm not wrong, lol. Screenshot_20230912-215954.png

My guess is 7450lbs BoB. With the girls 7895lbs.....

I figured a surprising eloquent response or something with a little sauce added!

You didn't disappoint.......and I've been in the Whiskey tonight. Thanks for the laugh.

As mentioned a few days ago a little liquid levity is always a good time to pass a bit of humor good sir. It’s my trip around the sun day so I’m a bit “happy” this evening.
 
Well, i looked up the specs on my trailer and it's 2900 lbs which seems heavy. Looks like I'm driving the truck the next few days to finish the clutch break in. I'm not putting 10k behind the sequoia.

Thanks for all the replies, it helped out a lot.
 
I bid 1 lb in honor of old Bob Barker
 
I don't know what kind of clutch you put in but I didn't break in my sb dual disc and after 100k miles and thousands of those miles grossing 28-29k I have zero clutch issues.
 
3800 kg

Yep, same when I put one in my old 12valve after I swapped the G56 behind it. I really struggled not to have fun but I stuck it out and it was flawless until I sold it. Also, no clue what would have happened if I had just sent it??

Don't blame you, I didn't know there was such a thing or I would have done it myself. I was just giving you my experience.
