2018 f150 max tow package
Hi all,
After being on here for a few years, we finally pulled the trigger on a 2018 F150 SCREW. End of year rebates were too juicy to pass up. Won't be able to get a super duty until DH retires. It's magnetic gray and OH so pretty! DH is really happy. Here's the specs:
3.5 v6 Ecoboost
Max tow pkg
3.55 rear axle
1786 payload
145" wheelbase
4x4
18" wheels
7000# GVWR package
I waited very patiently to get the most payload I could (thanks to you all!) and this is as close as it gets without a payload package. My kids are grown and almost grown but I do have a developmentally disabled son who will be here for the long haul. So basically 3 adults, we are all tall so about 600 pounds including the dog (f150 is a dream for tall people, so roomy!). Other kids drive and likely won't be with us in the TV but can follow in another car. We usually camp within 2 hours of home, but that can sometimes include some mountainous driving.
The TT I'm looking at is:
https://www.jayco.com/tools/archive/2018-jay-feather/23bhm/
It says Unloaded Vehicle Weight (lbs) 4980
Dry Hitch Weight (lbs) 570
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (lbs) 6250
Cargo Carrying Capacity (lbs) 1270
Exterior Width 96"
Interior Height 78"
Wheel Base 202"
How do these numbers look? What issues should I look out for with my configuration? We will be getting a spray in bedliner which will add some weight (how much?). Is the extended gas tank weight included in the payload? It's weighed with a full tank of gas, correct? Do we need bigger wheels?
Thanks, I'm looking forward to finally getting to shop for a trailer. I know this one seems small, but we enjoy the outdoors and won't be in it much. Need the bathroom, and a bed for me, vault toilets are just THE WORST. lol
Thanks for reading! :)
