Generally speaking, we have the same truck, except mine is a 2012. I don't think Ford changed the 6.7 until 2015.
Our current FW is a Montana. It is 39'2" long, has two slides on the door side and a super slide on the non-door side. The side-by-side washer/dryer is in a hallway closet, has the larger frig, etc. If you go through a 3725RL I suspect you will agree you can live in it full time.
I take my combination across the scales once a year. I also have taken my truck, fully loaded, across the scales.
The fifth wheel max tow for my truck is listed by Ford as 16,400, with a payload of 4,440 pounds. My truck has the optional 11,300 GVWR package.
The 3725RL has a listed dry weight of 12,892, with a hitch weight of 2,815. However, when you add the weight of the washer/dryer, Travler DirectRV dish, clothing, food, misc. equipment, actual weight goes to 14,900.
My pin weight is approaching 3,500 pounds. There are different ways to crunch these numbers and other factors, such as what load capacity are your TV tires rated for, or what load capacity are you FW tires rated for.
I have changed my stock tires on my truck and I had Goodyear G614 tires installed on the FW prior to taking delivery.
I did install Firestone bags on my truck but only to level out when hooked up. It accomplished that plus I feel it cushions the ride some. It does not add load capacity or make your truck into a dually.
I know this is a long post, but I wanted to share some of the numbers with you since our trucks are similar. I am very careful about adding weight to my FW and I think I am about maxed out on tow capacity.
I've been considering buying a new truck (350). The 4440lb payload caught my eye. Is that what is on your Load and Tire Capacity label on your driver's door post specific to your truck as optioned or is t the brochure number? Your truck must be a 4x4 Crew cab with a 6.5' box?
Just trying to figure out my options.
Thanks
