Major Advice Needed ASAP.
Alright people, I need some advice. This is long.
I currently tow a Grand Design 303 RLS with a 2014 F250 Crew Cab Diesel 4x4. The truck squats with the pin loaded and I added air bags to level it out. The ground to bed height rail height unloaded is 56.5"+/-, while the ground to overhang level on the 5er is 59". After using the bags, I'll level out and have about 8" between 5ver and top of bed.
Well, the truck is now a lemon and I have the opportunity to step up to a 2015 F350 Crew Cab Diesel FX4. The unloaded ground to bed height measurement is 59+/- inches. With all else being the same, the 5ver unhooked and level, and the truck unloaded are pretty much identical heights from the ground.
I currently use a 16kw husky slider with aftermarket bed rails. The head is mounted at its lowest setting. I'd love the hitch and would continue to use it but would after go use the Reese 30156 adapter since the F350 is factory prepped. How much will the F350 squat with +/- 2200# of pin weight?
Will the combo still work, or do I stay with a 250? We will upgrade one day to a full size 5er, but it's only 8 months old. If I get the one ton now, I'll be prepared.
Thanks in advance!
