How much payload does your truck have? Look at the yellow sticker on your door jamb. My guess...and F250 will have between 2200-3000lbs of payload depending on how your truck is optioned. Since most people like "goodies" most are around 2500lbs.
A fiver have a typical pin weight of 25% ???
2500lbs payload - occupants - hitch - cargo in the truck = 1800lbs??
1800/0.25 = 7200lbs trailer...wet and loaded for travel, which means a 6200lbs UVW trailer.
If you want a toyhauler 5th wheel, you're going to need an F350 to do it.
These calcs are all assumptions, but they can be firmed up if you provide us the actual payload your truck has, based on the yellow sticker on your door jamb. Every truck is different, that's why they put the sticker on the door.
So you're saying that he'd be maxed out with a trailer with an unloaded weight of 6200lbs ? Funny, looking up the specs of your trailer, yours is labeled at 6160lbs per Jayco's website.
Please explain to me how a F250 would be maxed out pulling the same trailer you currently pull with an F150 ? :h
