F150 and Reflection 150 series?
First let me say I am totally aware of the “concerns” of pulling a 5er with a 1/2 ton pickup ..... BUT I have a wonderful 2016 F150 Lariat and am tired of dealing with the stress of travel trailer swa...

The 260 RD reflections has about 10000 gvwr which can have a 2000 + lb pin weight when loaded to the max.
GD website shows around 7300 lb dry weight. Generally around 1200-1500 lbs may be loaded for this size trailer. Now your looking in the 1700-1800 lb pin weight area. Now add another 200 lbs for a 5th wheel hitch/mounting hardware/rails....your looking at 2000 lb in the bed over your trucks rear axle without other gear and occupants.
Looking at 2016 Fleet Ford F150 specs shows a 3.5 EB supercrew 4wd can have a 3800 RAWR good for around 1500 lbs in the bed.
Or a 4550 RAWR good for around 2100-2200 lbs in the bed.
Or the HDPP package has the 4800 RAWR which can carry up to around 2500 lbs in the bed. This is thew F150 highest rated load carrying package.
Your drivers side door post tells shows your trucks RAWR number.
Max Tow package ?? Good package and is a option on F150 with different GVWR/RAWR specs.
Max Tow Includes:
• 3.55 Electronic-locking rear-axle
• 4-pin/7-pin wiring harness
• 36 Gallon fuel tank
• Auxiliary transmission oil cooler
• Engine oil cooler
• Class IV trailer hitch receiver
• Pro Trailer Backup Assist with Tailgate LED
• Smart Trailer Tow Connector (standard on LARIAT and higher)
• Integrated Trailer Brake Controller
• Upgraded front stabilizer bar
• Upgraded rear bumper
You have the truck so get some axle weight numbers with math attention to the RAWR number as its carrying all the load in the bed.
