Thanks for all the replies so far. Very helpful info and I like the site that allows you to calculate potential weights. If we can honestly start at a dry pin weight of 1200 or 1250 I think we will be clean on weight. I'm relatively confident from reading other people towing at higher end of range for the F150 with the EB and HD package that it does very well. My wish is that manufactures had to post an actual weighted finished product (not the yellow sticker calculated weight (I actually programmed that for one manufacturer) including hitch or pin weight. Aerolight does this for the overall weight, but not hitch, which in some cases is the limiting factor.
Another brand we had looked at before we even had the F150 was Crusader. Their pin weights are in range but wow, their weights don't make sense. For example, the 290RLT has a pin weight of 1200 and a dry weight of 8554, is this even possible. On top of that, the CCC is 3039 (where would you load that much weight?). So do they just throw pin weights out there? how can you figure a pin weight if the manufacturer is not being realistic with their numbers. Can a dealer obtain a real pin weight? (I have a tongue scale for TT's but no way it would work for a pin.
