Opinions wanted.
Hey guys,
I have a co-worker that I have talked to till I am blue in the face. I normally don't consider myself to be one of the weight police but this is just crazy.
He just purchased a 2013 Sprinter 333FWFLS. It's a beautiful 5er. Some of the specs. Empty weight is 9598.
Gross weight is 12750.
Empty pin is 2045.
Length is 37'5".
Again it's a beautiful 5er. Now here is the kicker. His tow vehicle is a 2011 F150, standard cab, 8 foot bed, 5.0L V8 with a 3.55 rear end.
How can I convince him that he doesn't have enough truck. Dealer of course said it would be fine. He hasn't picked it up yet but I told him he will be truck shopping soon if he tries to tow it with the F150. I have told him about this site and encouraged him to check things out here so maybe he will read and listen to some opinions other than mine. Thanks, John
