weight police/ please comment
OK so in a few other threads their was some surprise or questions about an f150 pulling a 5ver, so please comment on my first Rv. the truck was practically given to me and had options added for towing.
2000 F150, 5.4 L gas, class 3 towing package (includes cooler) expanded payload capabilities, 3.73 rear end. rated for 8800 towing. the used 5ver I purchased has a dry weight of 7000, and a fully loaded weight of 8200 (including water) the hitch weight is 1200 and the truck is basically level when hooked up, other than maybe a little slow on uphill grades I would think these numbers look ok?? and not too much. the increased payload took the truck to 7700 - the actual weight of less than 4500? (a spec sheet showed it at 4250 or so) I was just curious, the little local dealer stated that the 5ver was about perfect for that truck when he checked it out the day I picked up my RV.
