I used to use one when I was towing with an SUV and it worked out very well for me. I find I don't need it with the F250, but it made a pretty huge difference in stability with the SUV.

Here is mine, a 1999 F150 and a steel trailer.

I pull a 24ft ATC enclosed with 08 sequoia and use a weight distributing hitch , sway control. Makes towing a breeze. I've not tried towing at 80+mph but certainly 70-75 is comfortable.

Really great truck now that they finally fixed CAS issue! Only took them 10 years.

For Sale: I have a 06' F350 CC dually, PSD, DRW, 4 x 4, in the Lariat package with 16k miles. Pretty much every option except the moonroof. I really don't like the 4x4 and have never used it so I'm going to order the exact same truck in 2WD. It's probably worth around $35k.....

Sweet!

GT3 Nut

Yes it is the 6'6" short bed.
Trailer is 32' overall with 24' on floor.
I got a hitch ball that moves the trailer attachment back about 4-6", but the weight is still over the axle because of the way it attaches. Between that and the narrowed design on the front of the trailer, it works great.
They make gooseneck attachments that move the trailer back about 4-6" also, but the hitch I had installed had the ball attachment that took care of it. (B&W Hitches).

Thanks.

TRAKCAR

This is a 2006 F 350 with 3:73 gearing, 100 gallon aux. tank with 110K miles on it. The trailer is an all aluminum Optima.

The truck has new oil pump, alternator, batteries and Turbo, the trailer has been trouble free so far.

We need 44ft to be able to tow 2 cars, but even if you tow only one it is nice to have 30ft so you can load all your extra stuff for the weekend.

We have had a bunch of tag trailers towed with an Excursion diesel before, but a 5th wheel always tows faster and drives much more relaxed as it never sways.

We run 85-90MPH pretty consistently (No chip, 100% stock truck.) and if you do that with a tag you get tired of th sway pretty quickly.

My choice would be an open flat bed trailer if you have a street car that you sometimes take to the track on a trailer with a regular SUV.
If you have a race car you might be happier with a closed 5th wheel trailer that can hold everything, use it as storage and it is all ready to go for the next weekend. So if you don't mind driving a pickup, get the 5th wheel, otherwise a big diesel SUV and stay below 30ft or drive slow.

I think weight of the trailer and even the length does not matter much, we bought the optima for the quality, not because it is lighter, but aero does, so go for the tapered nose and bubble, we found it makes a 1-2 MPG difference, never mind you can go much faster especially with a head wind. That is also why we picked a tall gearing, not much mountains in the Southeast and if we go to california, we have to shift down anyway..

We also got the D rated mult ply tires, like they have on big stacker trailers, no fun driving with one eye on the mirror waiting for the next blowout....

It is. It was a test to see who is paying attention.
