I thought about trading to an f250. But with the air bags the sway bar and the blue ox hitch it really pulled nicely. As you could see I was weighing the rig. Unfortunately it was empty but we're well below weight at this point. I'll be anxious to see after we get loaded with everything. Not worth going to an f250 unless I absolutely have to.
What I will be pulling, hooked to my previous truck.
Laredo 274RB, 30 foot overall, 7800 lbs GVW.
Only had the F-150 for 3 weeks, it will 6 weeks or so before the Pa. weather allows any camping trips.
First time hooking up our 7x14' aluminum snowmobile trailer which I've converted to a redneck camper. Got lucky on the propane holder, tailgate just clears (but only if the rig is aligned straight). Need to make a few adjustments to the hitch for level, but pretty close on the initial before passing over any scales. We'll see if it rides nicely enough without the WDH that we normally used with our other vehicles, or if I'll readjust the WDH for the new truck.
Haul a 35 foot 5th wheel with three slide s
has max tow, 35 eco, added 5000 lb airbags, use the scorcher when towing with 91 octaine. No issue at all works well
Trailer is 9500 lbs empty
Hauls at hyw speed and can even get enough go to pass slow moving snails
