Just FYI when you get home. Jack the trailer up and check the bearings. It is not uncommon for a trailer to have them loose even after someone "checks them".
I carry a temp guns with me and shoot the hubs and tires when I stop. If one is hotter than the rest time to see why.

I had a trailer five years ago that i picked up.at the dealer and it was brand new, supposedly inspected by the dealer and i got halfway home and it seemed like it was bouncing a bit. I pulled over and there was melted grease all over the wheel. Stacked 3 2xs up staggeredn like a ramp, drove it up. Went jiggle that tire and the tire was so hot it was burning my hand. I called them and they told me to just keep going. LOL...they came out the following day with a whole new axle. It wasnt a big trailer but i couldnt believe they didnt give a darn.
Im not sure what urban dictionary says and the phrase has been around much longer . If something is cheesy its considered to be inadequate or corrupt in design. In this aspect anyway. If something is cheeseball or riceball its inadequate for more than one reason. It was easier to say cheeseball than type all this bs so i think from here out Ill yse cheeseball as fit and refrsin from explaining this again.

No, didn't even think to do that, we do have scales around here so i think a trip is in my near future.

His sand toys I bet are pretty light though, pin weight doesn't look to bad right now, stock my truck would squat with pretty much anything hooked to it, and his being lower and 2wd I think just makes it look worse since its closer to the ground but doest seem to be really squatting that much, some bags and he is good to go

I actually got this truck from a family member with money, who was buying a gas truck and didn't want it anymore so he gave it to me, the downside of it is no 4x4 and no power locks or Windows or anything.
I could deal with roll your own winders, non power locks, SRW, and 2WD with no problems in that case. I have a feeling you don't get much in the way of ice and snow, so 2 WD will be fine unless you get stupid. If you do decide to get stupid you'll be stuck before you get too far from help. Lol.

It's not all that bad now I've got my hitch adjusted out. I was using 2 friction control bars but I ruined my older one so I'm just using one right now. I towed this weekend from Half Moon Bay to San Louis Obisbo this past weekend on the scenic hwy 1 in Cali. You just have to be up not he wheel more than with a DRW. But like I said it'll be the last pull behind I'll own and I'm planning on getting an 11-16 f450 for my pulling in the future. Still keeping my 01 though for dd and lighter towing.
I had a gas 04 f350 rclb auto 4x4. Xl with the chrome package and fx4 package. Manual windows and locks lol. I loved that POS with every fiber of my being. It was one of my favorite trucks.
Yeah, I hear they aren't bad once you get all that crap adjusted right. I just like hooking them up in the bed. Make sure they're secure and go. No crap to adjust. Lol.
It doesnt look bad but it looks bizarre.

is there any major differences between a 15 F250 and a 16 F350?
long story short the same family member that gave me this truck bought a 16 F350 2 weeks ago, and the other day went down a bought a new manual cummins. So i am giving him back the 15 F250 he gave me in exchange for the 16 F350.
It is a SRW but i am gonna swap the hitch and bags i just got onto it for hauling the beast.

Look at the rear springs. I bet your 250 has the main ones with no upper overload and the 350 has the upper overload unless your 250 has a camper package or something.
I need to be adopted if you have room in your family.

The 350s also usually have a taller block. On the door they usually have a higher gvwr on the sticker. Gear ratio could be anything.
