Finally picked up our new hauler....

We finally picked up our new toyhauler about a month ago. It's a 2016 FR Thunderbolt. We love it! Went from a rear livng fifth wheel to this amazing unit.

  • That looks awesome.

    We've been looking for a similar TH but the weight concerns us. A quick search for your TH shows a GVWR of 21,000. My 2014 2500HD Duramax is comparable to your F250, so are you having any problems with towing yours?

    Sorry I have not update my signature but I now I have a 2015 F350 SRW LB CC. I'm right at my rear axle ratio and the truck does amazingly well. I upgraded tires to 295/65/20 so I have another 700 lbs in tire capacity.
  • What a great looking rig. I checked Forest Rivers web page. There are 13 different floor plans for the XLR... Which floor plan did you choose?

    Thanks for all the compliments everyone! The wife chose the 375amp. She wanted the second restroom and curbside seating. I'm glad we went with the second restroom. It's so convenience with kids sleeping in the rear and when we have company.
