Yep. First pic was like 3 days after I got the truck back in May. Second pic was about a month later. Stock Goodyears were just awful, except for the great MPGs. Absolutely love the Duratracs though!

Your more then welcome! Thank you...

Question: I see your pulling a 5er.....Which bed do you have?
I pull this now....2012 Holiday Rambler 36' twin slide and 11,000+ lbs.
we want to get a 5er but keep getting told we need a F250.

I'd like to keep my EcoBoost! I see other fifth wheel owners pulling theirs with F-150's all the time.

First time towing the new trailer. The new AAL, 5100's and 4.56's make it a breeze.

I have not owned a camper trailer. I have been looking for a toy hauler and have been leery of going over 5000# UVW. I have a 1600# payload. I would be very interested in seeing your CAT scale weight tickets. What are your axle weights?

I did not have each axle weighed. I had the trailer weighed at a truck stop near my home once we had it fully loaded... It weighed 11,280. That was disconnected from the truck

I think it's a safe bet you're over payload & tow-rating for your trim. Does this concern you at all? I'm confident the F150 handles the overage, but what about insurance and liability concerns? It wouldn't take a genius insurance adjuster to determine that your trailer exceeds the payload and/or 9800# tow-rating of your vehicle and therefore deny any claims that may exist.

I appreciate your concern for my truck however I am not overloaded. Bartow Ford and I found a truck that was rated for my RV. With the max tow package and integrated brake control, my truck is rated at 11,300. Bartow Ford also added Firestone Ride-Rite air bags to help maintain a level ride and I had them upgrade the OEM tranny cooler with a much larger one.

It pulls and stops perfectly with over 15,000 towed miles on the RV. My neighbor has a 2012 with a 6.5 bed that he pulls a Montana fifth wheel with... I don't know his weights but I know it's 38 feet long.

I am very confident in my setup and looking forward to finding an ultra lite fifth wheel I can replace my Travel trailer with

Take care.

If you have a 3.55 axle ratio, you don't have max tow and aren't rated for 11,300 pounds. Going off your sig.
