According to the Ford 2017 Towing guide your 2017 Ford F-250 with a 6.2L gas engine can tow a 5th wheel somewhere between 12,200 and 15,700lbs depending on the cab configuration, bed length, drive type and rear end gear ratio. If you can provide me with this additional information on your truck I can help you determine if it is safe to tow your 11,280lb 5th wheel.
