Cedar Creek, we're in our 3d one. Daughter and SIL just bought a Creek, 38FL, and pull with a 13 (Bow-tie) 2500 Duramax, NO PROBLEM. For me and several of my friends (yes, I have a few:) the service from Forest River, and Cedar Creek in particular is far and above anything I've heard of. And your 2014 Ford will tow just fine, although a Cummins engine might do better:B.
Just because it "TOWS IT JUST FINE" doesn't mean it is safe or not over the limits of the truck. I hear this all the time but if people were honest with themselves they would admit that they are over what their trucks are rated to tow. I'm not sure why people think it is perfectly ok to exceed the GVWR of their vehicles. Max tow ratings often exceed what the trucks GVWR is. It's not about what you can pull but what you can carry.
I don't have an issue with being over the GVWR for my truck! Seeing how I can be over GVWR and NOT need any extra spring other then the FACTORY Campe Package springs to sit level. Truck and 5er drive and tow like they are on rails, 2500 with 3500 springs and sway bar. Unlike today with a model of truck may have 5 or 6 GVWR the 01 2500 had one 8,800#
I see all these post by I am within all weights, but putting air bags to level or smooth the ride. I don't need any of that to be level or ride smooth, so I must be more within capacity than those others!!!!
