Default need advice Help
I am trying to make a deal for a F150 screw 3.5 EB, 3.55 rear locking, 6800 GVWR. 6.5 bed 157 wheelbase. I currently own a 2016 F150 2.7eb 3.31 with payload 1400. I pull a 24ft starcraft 5300 dry weight. I just don;t feel my current truck is strong enough for a white hawk in the neighborhood of 6500 dry. I don't want a 250 so my question is will trading for a different 150 make much difference or should I just be happy with what I have and go on with life.

Don't know payload but the GVWR goes up 800 lbs so my payload should go up also right?

It is on a sticker on the door jamb.

Many threads explain how to calculate max trailer you can tow.
