The FW that we are considering has a dry weight of 9090, and a GVWR of 12,305. We will be doing weekends and some week long trips but not full time so we won't be packing heavy. It seems to me if we maxed out our FW at 12,305 then that leaves us nearly 3000 pounds for passengers (sometimes 4 adults), the FW pin and whatever else we put in the truck. Does that sound correct?
Hello,
You will be fine towing that 5th wheel, However I would not go any larger. I have a 2012 f250 diesel short bed and I am towing. It does tow very well. The pack in drops a couple of inchs however I will be adding firestone air bags soon.
