Looking at this 5th wheel (2020 Cougar 368mbi). Wondering if my truck would be safe hauling it. Here are my truck specs:

2017 Ford Super Duty F250
XLT 4X4 CREW CAB
6.2L FI FFV V8
3.73 axle ratio
10,000 lb GVWR package
160” wheel base
Regular bed
Towing package

No other modifications.

Thanks in advance.

the weights are similar to mine, and I can tell you that the hitch weight will more realistically be in the 2300 to 2500lb range. mine was advertised at 2200 and came in at 2800lbs so I had to trade my 3/4 ton ford in on a 1 ton with the 11500 payload.

if you already have the truck fill up the gas tank and take it and scale the front and rear end then you know exactly what you have for capacity. I don't worry so much about the payload rating but rather the individual axel loading. so for instance my rears can handle 7000lb max, empty I am about 2800lbs so I can add about 4200 lbs before I am at a limit.
