Another "am I overloaded" thread
Wife and I found a 5er we really like. Keystone Hideout 315RDTS. I would like to hear some real world examples from people who tow something similar to this with the same type of TV as mine. Any is...

OP, your truck is perfect for a 5th wheel that size. You will be under on all Manufacturers limits (and it will pull it like a train). My 5th wheel is a good bit heavier than yours and my old F250 was under all Manufacturers limits except 15lb over the 3/4 ton truck 10k GVWR limit.
:h
This is where I get so confused!!
This is your sig;
2015 Heartland Gateway 3650BH
2012 F350 CC FX4 DRW
2005 F250 CC FX4
Fordguy, are you saying you towed the Heartland in your signature with a F250, and were only 15# over the 10,000# TV GVWR???
That rig has a 12,999 dry weight, and 15,500# GVWR.
You must either have 15% pin weight, or travel with both the TV and 5er empty.
I think Old-Biscuit thinks I am crazy, but it is what it is only exceed GVWR, and tows, carries, and drives like a dream.
Sure did, for about a year, it towed great. The scaled weight of my Gateway fully loaded is 14,215. The loaded pin is 2350 which made the total weight of the truck 10015. I scaled the rig several time during the first year just to be sure. It was always well under all other mfg limits. I have the truck registered for 14k gvw and have 7500lbs of rear tire capacity so it's totally legal.
