Very nice! Do you tow in or through high elevation by chance? Great looking set up!

Note when reading Mtber's response, that he's using 1,850 pounds of payload. He also has a HDPP truck with 2,446 pounds of available payload. Most F-150 owners don't have 1,850 pounds of payload...

well, most non-XL F150s, you mean. Plenty of STX guys have that or better!

Nice bullet, we almost bought one till we came across a deal on a cougar too good to pass up. I cant believe how many ppl have small payload ratings on their xlts or higher. Ive got a 2016 xlt sport pkg with a payload of 1889. Not barebones either, quite a few options on it. Curious if it has something to do with it being the sport pkg. Sorry for going a bit off topic!

Definitely. Luckily I'll only be towing at very most a 6k lbs travel trailer

At 1889, it is probably not a screw 6.5?
