I have a 2008 f250 6.4L crew cab 4x4 and i have air bags on it as well, i currently pull a 3h 11' platinum but am wondering if it will pull a 4h 12' elite? any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks

What is the pin weight of the Elite fully loaded..?? Is your GVWR 9800# or 10000#? Your pay load capacity will be between 2950# and 3160#, depending on if your truck is two or four wheel drive, 8' bed-vs-6.5' bed, etc. Your GCVWR is 23500#.... Need to know that pin weight, but it will probably be pushing the maximum of the F-250. Back under the trailer, take it to a scale and weigh it, that's the only way you'll know for sure.....

If the 12 foot that you reference is a 12' LQ. I'll venture that it will be over your pin weight.
Your truck can probably pull the GCVW. But a 12'LQ with 4 horses will more than likely overload your truck's load limits and actually be in the range of F350 Dually.
As mentioned above. The only way you will know is to load the trailer and drive across a scale and see how much it actually weighs on your gooseneck hitch.

Maximum ALLOWABLE loaded pin weight = Truck's GVWR minus Truck's LCW The truck's laden curb weight (LCW) is the weight of the truck with driver, passengers, pets, full fuel tank, options, accessories, cargo, 5th wheel hitch, etc. The manufacturer's published curb weight is typically that of a base truck with only a 150 lb driver, so the LCW can be significantly greater than the manufacturer's curb weight.

Love Ford and Dodge Forums! Learned a lot about trucks and tires etc. Those forums seem to know more than the salesguys and dealers. Check this one out.http://www.fordf150.net/2008/2008-ford-f250-superduty-specifications.phpGood Luck
