Question on Pin Weight and Toy Haulers
Take it easy on me - I am a female still learning about this stuff, so I apologize if this is a loaded or dumb question! Our truck, a 2003 F-350 PSD, allows for 2100 lbs. of pin weight. The toy hau...

To the OP, you actually have a very capable truck, it will pull up to a 36' 2 axle 5ver nicely. Yes the paper ratings don't jive but with good tires ( Load E with 3750 wt Cap ) , well maintained running gear and a level head behind the wheel you should have some fun trips.
A larger hauler I definitely recommend more truck.
Have fun
I wouldn't want a 2 axle 36' toy hauler..... Not with the weights I put inside of mine.
We won't be taking any toys, so that doesn't bother me. See, I don't want a toy hauler to haul toys - I want it for that multifunctional garage space.
We'll take our bicycles and oversize intertubes, but I really only want a toy hauler for the versatility of the garage. We need space for the kids to sleep, but I don't want to give up valuable floor space to a bunk room. The toy hauler garage affords us two queen beds, and a great, spacious hang-out area with the addition of a patio deck, and a dining room for when it rains or is a bit chilly to be outside.
Ok, in your first post, you asked how much weight you have to put in to help offset the pin weight. So.......... I figured it was safe to assume that you were putting actual toys in the garage, not bicycles.... LOL
You're right about that, but we are planning on buying a mobile outdoor kitchen(not the chincy ones, but a heavier one on wheels), a generator, and we could - if need be - store items back there that we would normally put in the belly storage compartment for transport - filled ice chest, drinking water, etc. That's what we *were* thinking, along with bicycles and other stuff, that perhaps we could put enough of our stuff back there to offset some of the weight.
