I tow a 34 foot 2016 Cougar with a 2015 F350.

I can guarantee that the trailer will hit the cab while making a u-turn. I have a crease in the cab to prove it.

If the trailers at GVWR, you're way over on payload. Numbers work? I'd say No!

I pulled my 41’ 5th wheel with my stock F250 with no issues, but I also don’t pull very often either.

Towed it through the hills of northern Arkansas all the way to west texas without a single issue.

Surprisingly it only squatted it 2”...

I also went with the B&W companion slider and it worked great.

Exhaust brake worked good but dodges brake is better (I’ve had both)
