So the more I read these kind of posts, the sicker I feel. My '07 F250 with the 6.0 has a GCWR of 23000 lbs, GVWR of 10000 lbs, Rear GAWR of 6100 lbs, and then you look at the payload sticker......2356 lbs. It's going to be tough finding a fifth wheel that isn't overloaded.
I agree But in all our travels thus far the 250 is the most common truck I see pulling 35' plus fifth wheels. So that's where I struggle. There are 8k plus empty weight travel trailers out there and I've never seen a F350 or equivalent pulling one. My 7500lbs travel trailer doesn't even squat my truck. My fist tow vehicle was a 13 f150 and it pulled just fine. So is the ultra lit 5er's the only ones with in weight for a 3/4 ton truck? Seems like if you go strictly by the numbers they are.
