Fixed my GVW problem
In a previous thread I asked about what appeared to be an overweight problem between our Kodiak RB279SL and our Ford F150. The tongue weight is about 950 lbs and the payload for the truck is 1,250 lbs...

You solved your problem. Never saw anyone on here complain about having too much payload, but a lot of them about too little....
Unfortunately, for a lot of us (myself included), buying into such a comfortable towing margin just doesn't make economic sense. We camp locally most of the time, and probably won't make more than 1 - 3 trips annually more than 3 hours away, and even then, most likely never more than 5 or 6 hours away. Our TV is my daily driver, and I couldn't justify even a 3/4 ton gasser, on paper at least. Buying a high-mileage 1/2 ton, and a much older trailer is the only way we can afford at this time to camp the way we do. I'm happy to just have what we have.
If we could swing it, I would be more than happy to step up to a 3/4 ton gasser, and an oil burner would be even better. Why does money always seem to get in the way? :@
