I purchased a gooseneck trailer to haul a tractor I am about to buy...if I haul the tractor with loader and cutter, I'm looking at close to 18k pounds...16k when I leave loader at home.
I didn't expect to go this heavy on the tractor or I would've bought a DRW 350.

Not a '15, but this was what my '12 had behind it all day today. Trailer and lift came in at 21,700 lbs. Does very well and temps stay in check. EGTs are almost impossible to get over 1000*F. Good trailer brakes are the key.

Made a short run with a 23k pound boom lift. Trailer weighs 6500#. Not something I would haul around any other cars but it handled it quite well. 15' F350 DRW

No worries. I pull this trailer all the time. Tows and stops extremely well. Exhaust brake is awesome. combined weight between 27,500 and 29,000. Between 3,700-4,200lb pin weight depending on what rock buggys I am towing. Put on somewhere around 3k miles towing this trailer this year.

Heaviest we've towed (regularly all summer moving bales) with either my '12 or the farm's '15 is somewhere between 35k and 40k bringing out total weight to somewhere between 45 and 50k. 18k is what the my trailer and skid loader weigh. Truck really doesn't care, used to do similar with my older (06) 3/4ton and it did ok for what it was.

You'll be plenty fine at 26k. My pile is a 11' and it regularly grosses 35k and upwards of 45k lbs a several times a month. These trucks are very impressive towing machines.
