Ok, Wing I give up. Tell me how to estimate the amount of weight a pickup can carry, before you buy it and can see the yellow sticker? That is what the OP needs to know.
Probably the most important number when buying a PU to tow a 5er is the payload, carrying capacity, pin weight. Give the OP advice on how to pick that very important number. Can he use a 3/4, SRW 1 ton, or a dually?
I spec an F250 out for carrying a truck camper, because it gives me the overload springs of an F350. It does nothing for the yellow sticker, but it sags less and drives better. Anything better, I will use your idea and give you credit.
