Arctic Fox 990 on SRW in the Snow?
Hi All, New member here, excited to be joining your ranks. Less exciting is the prospect of wrecking my new truck and TC. I have the truck (2017 F-350, CC, SRW, 6.7l, FX4), but not the TC. Re...

It is hard to do if not impossible with a F-350 SRW with TC with a slide..
Example:
My F-350 DRW has a payload listed on the door at 4600 lbs..I do not think there is a SRW with that amount of payload.Point,my 9.6 Lance non-slide with a listed weight of 2582 pounds loaded ready to camp and with my tools/passengers/horse mat etc and gas tank filled up on the truck,is within a couple hundred pounds of being Max GVRW..
Any slide TC would Max or even over Max my listed weights(GVRW) with it empty..I would be over weight with the AF-990 and the Lance 995 if I payed attention to the manufacturers ratings.
You will be over weight with either the AF-990 or the Lance 995 on your SRW..But many do it with less truck than you have.
Good info here, and I appreciate the acknowledgement at the end. Certainly, the dealer would be happy to send me down the road without considering the door sticker. Seems to be industry standard that if you upgrade suspension/air-bags, that the sticker no longer applies, but I know if I were a lawyer for an insurance company, I'd definitely disagree.

If I was buying another one the NL Sportsman would be on the short list. You may want to look at the Bigfoot 1500 series as well.
My F350 SRW CC 4X4 diesel payload was 3267. I overloaded that with the Montana 5th wheel and went to RAM SRW with 4018 payload and now the dually since I got the Bigfoot.
A NL rec from a bigfoot owner carries some weight! I liked both when I looked at them. I liked the NL just a little bit more in terms of perceived build quality (whatever that means...). Visually, The Big Foot looked nicer on the inside and out, but it was also off-gassing quite a bit from production. Not sure if it was just a lot newer than the NL, but the dealer thought it was a factor of the wood materials used.
