Another Blue OX Sway Pro question and concern
Close-up of Blue Ox Sway Pro I'm new to the forum but have had my TT (2015 Keystone Outback 316RL) for the past 18 months and loving every minute of it. We use to tow it with a 2010 F150 5.4 (4x2) bu...

BTW, if you're using same trailer and same Blue Ox Sway Pro system that you had on your F150, boy were you overloading the receiver hitch of that F150. Looks like you're right at the limit of your F250 hitch.
I thought all of the F150s that had a rating over 5,000 lbs came with Class IV hitches 10,000 / 1050 hitches. The new 250s come with a Class IV rated at 16,000 / 1600 or 12,000 / 1,250 using the sleeve.
What I'm saying is that if he can't get the F250 level with the "1500 lbs" WDH spring bars, then he surely was overloading his F150 Hitch as the F250 hitch is rated at 1400 lbs tongue weight and the F150 hitch weight is rated at only "1050 lbs."
He should not be using anything more than 1000 lbs spring bars on the F150 as it's max hitch weight is 1050 lbs., not 1500 lbs as the bars that were used.
I use to own a 2010 F150 as well.
BTW, F250 w/Diesel hitch rating is 1,400 lbs with 2.5" hitch or F250 w/6.2L Gas hitch rating is 1,250 lbs with 2" hitch.
Just about bought a '16 F250 right before I bought my '16 F150. I needed better mileage than the F250 since I commute with my truck and still have great payload and tow capacity on the F150.
