Check Me....I am OK with this set-up

Can you check me (give me your thoughts) on this combination

2015 F-250 Super Duty CC
FX4 Off Road, Camper Package (Extra Rear Leaf Spring)
Payload Capcity is 2,350 pounds
6.2L V8, 6 speed auto
45,000 miles
3.73 ELS
Tow Rating: 12,000 lbs

Proposed Trailer:
2020 Jayco 32BHDS, 2 Slides
UVW: 8200 lbs
CC: 1700 lbs
GVWR: 9,900 lbs
Tongue Weight Empty: 865 lbs
36' long
Reese Strait Line w/Dual Cam Trunion 1,200 Lbs Bars

I currently have a 2014 Jayco 29QBH (6800 lbs dry, 9250 GVWR, 33' long). I don't win any races....I get about 8 mpg (which I am ok with).

I am looking to upgrade to a 6.7L diesel or 7.3L gas (new engine) in 2021.

I am going to be OK with my current set-up for this year if I buy this new trailer?

Thanks for your thoughts!
  • What's your load in the truck? Weight of occupants? Cargo? Is that 2,350 from the specs or the load sticker on the door jam?

    My guess is that you will be well within any ratings, but we can't tell for sure without more info on your overall load.
  • Go for one ton not 3/4 you will never regret it. And if you plan to go west to the mountain states get the 6.7L
