A couple of observations about the Ford trucks: I have always noticed the Ford trucks are rarely towing any brand of fiver level. The Fords look to set higher, many have 20" wheels, and the beds are deep. All contributing to the fiver riding nose high.
In addition, the Ford looks to leave the factory level. So any load on it squats the rear end.
My new dually does sit a little higher than my 15 GMC did, a little over an inch if I remember correctly. It certainly is not level as the rear definitely sits higher but doesn't squat much when hooked up to the Excel, which has about 3100 pounds of hitch weight. I have the camper package and 17" tires are standard on a dually.
Overall they are taller and the Excel does sit a bit nose high but just a little more than it did with the GMC. I'm having the MorRyde independent suspension install on the Excel the first of next month. Part of the process is leveling the trailer to the truck.
