Correct Truck

I am looking to purchase a Grand Design Momentum TH 376th. The GVWR is 20,000lbs. The truck I am looking to use for this is the 2017 F350 dually with the diesel. Do have enough truck once loaded with golf cart and necessary camping essentials?

    Are you guys freakin serious? A 2017 F350 will tow that camper all day long without breaking a sweat. Pin weight, overall weight, and whatever else you want to add won't be a problem at all.

    Those who think its not enough truck? Maybe you're just not very good drivers when pulling campers.


    LOL ... driving ability has zero to do with the towing or payload capacity of a given truck. What a ridiculous statement.

    That said, the F350 Dually will tow this 5er with no problems.

    Read that as DRY pin weight.
    If you never plan to add anything to the trailer, then maybe. After you load it it? Probably not.
    With 20K GVWR that means fully loaded your pin weight could be over 4000 pounds.
    A Ram dually with all the towing options might do it.


    F350 DRW will have a payload between 5500-7000lbs. Plenty of payload but of course the Ram boys always have to try to convince otherwise.

  • The F450's max tow with 5th wheel is shown as up to 27,500, max payload up to 7630.
