Think you may have bitten off a lil more than your truck can handle once you get it loaded with water and all your gear. Yet upgrad the brakes on the truck and you should be fine. Towing something that big to me is easier for some reason the bigger the better in my book. Just pull forward far enough to give you enough room to make corrections. If your truck is regeared than you are fine. Mpg aint gonna be pretty with that much weight expect single digits. As far as lifted you will notice more sway than a stock truck just because you are higher up. So go slow around corners and take it easy on it. Other than that happy camping and good luck!

F-250? I tow a 5400 dry weight toyhauler and I wish I had a Diesel. Take it easy with that much weight especially braking. I get about 8-9 MPG when I tow with my truck. Good luck anyway.

Just remember give yourself plenty of room!
Take corners extra wide especially RH ones! Balance the load. Slow and sure is better than fast and hasty. Know where you are going before you get there. Maybe a brake upgrade? The bigger they are the easier to backup. Give yourself room. Good idea on the equalizer hitch. Try to tow so the vehicle and trailer are level. Makes for good geometry and good handling. Watch where the brake controller is mounted in relation to the gryphon. I may think of some others Lars
