Ok so narrowing down choices and still totally baffled by the numbers.
Example Trailer: Jayco Eagle 314BHDS, Dry Hitch 920 Lbs / Dry Weight 7710 / GVRW for Trailer is 9975.
Tongue Weights would be between 920 Lbs and 1496 Lbs.
Taking information from Ford Tow Guide F250/350
Gas SRW 19,200 GCRW and 12,200 Max Tow, Truck Weight is 6190, Payload 3000 Lbs. Max Tongue 1250 Lbs.
Diesel SRW 23,400 GCRW and 14,000 Max Tow, Truck Weight ???, Payload 2400 Lbs. Max Tongue 1400 Lbs. (Not enough payload unless move to F350)
Family Weight 500 Lbs
Leer Cap 250 Lbs
WDH 100 Lbs
Camping Stuff in Truck 300 Lbs
1150 Lbs in truck + 1250 Lbs Trailer Tongue = 2400 Lbs. Estimating trailer at 8400 Lbs (Probably conservative with some water and supplies)
Call me crazy but but feels like I need an F-350 and pretty close to dually territory if we go strictly by the numbers. I am also not counting generator, extra fuel, or other misc items which could end up being included.
How are guys pulling 10K trailers with a F150? I mean the above configuration at its limits is well into the numbers requiring a dually and this isn't really a particularly heavy trailer.
