Oh yea, gotta have the WDH lol. It’s only 700lbs tongue weight, should be great on payload, and the wife and I are less than 300lbs. The max I go is 65 in the interstate I like to keep it around 60. It’s very flat here and I don’t go further than 1.5 hours from my house.

Dont think the RAS would help with the squat and ride? I hear good things about it. Haven’t towed with the f150 yet but my Silverado had a good bit of sag in the back.

There is no way it only has 700# of tongue weight. Have you measured it? Show us a picture of your payload sticker.

I never measured it with the f150 but I did the whole set up with my pervious trucks and campers. It’s 700lbs dry. Even if I put 1000lbs worth of crap in it, I would still be around 850-900. You want a payload sticker of the camper?

No...the payload sticker of the truck inside the drivers door jamb.

The advertised dry tongue weight doesn't include batteries or full propane tanks.

I’m aware, I don’t use propane so the tanks were removed from the camper.

That's not the payload sticker.
