I weighed my truck full of fuel and me in it= 6620lbs.. GVWR is 9000
The steer axle was 3900lb the drive axle was 2720.. I have E rated 10ply tires.
The wife son and dog= **allotting 400lb (more than needed) I would have 1980lb of payload left.
The gentleman above with the 230RL ended up with 8040 loaded to camp, on 7076 mfg UVW fifth wheel.. went from UVW pin of 1195 (mfg info) to 1480lb.
That's with him loading 1k in it.. so I like that set up, of course I realize that's subjective depending on where/how loaded etc.. I feel optimistic about this set up with my 2500 4.10 rear end 5.9 with 112K miles.. Just want to see more opinions.
I understand these MFG are pushing these 1/2 to towable units.. well, we know better, maybe 10% of the F-150's can tow these "If" set up properly, and ordered with max tow/payload etc..
