F150 vs. Suburban?
Hi everyone. First post here. We just bought a 2017 Grand Design Imagine 3150BH travel trailer. It's dry weight is approx. 7500lbs. We bought it to pull with my wife's company 2012 Chevy Suburban ...

IMHO, the F-150 would not be a noticeable improvement. Loaded and ready to go, your trailer will be north of 10,000 lb. Looks like you need that F-250 or a smaller trailer.
While I totally agree with the 150 vs 250, the trailer may not be north of 10k lbs.... Our 79XX (per yellow sticker, under 8k lbs...) 32 BHDS is only about 9200lbs loaded, but that is without any fresh water. I stated "about 9200lbs" as I scaled it at about 8800lbs (don't recall exact), but have added shelves in the front wardrobes and hall wardrobe, the 3 fence post sleeve mods, and the factory Jayco rear hitch/bike rack/bikes since weighing.
BUT....the op could have loaded way heavier than we do and is 10k+! Lol
The scales will be his best friend before shopping....
