Great site! Weight question for you guys. I need a different truck. I have an F250 now. Going to buy a new Designer 35RLTS in the next few days/weeks. Would a single rear wheel 1 ton with 3.73 gears 4x4 work? it is good for pulling a 15200# trailer (the 35RLTS says it weighs 15800# max capacity--11400# dry)Pin weight should be ok (figuring truck will weigh approx. 8000#),and truck GVW is 11400#... that would leave 3400# for the hitch. Am i thinking correctly here that it would work ok if i keep trailer weight down under 600# of max capacity??Trying to stay away from those duallies if possible.
Also, anyone use RV DIRECT to purchase their rigs? Their price is lower for a 2009 than i can find a 2008 here.What's the catch beside driving to Des Moines to get it? Thanks in advance for the info. Keep up the great work on this site!!
