Ford F250 6.2L V8
I recently purchased a new F250 with the 6.2L gas motor to pull our Keystone 2920BH. The truck doesn't even know it there. I am thinking about 5th wheels now. I am looking at the Forest River Rockwoo...

Is that from your door sticker ? I didn't realize the F-250 had such a high payload.
I'm hoping to upsize our TT soon. I thought I would need an F-350, but an F-250 would do nicely.
The F250 XLT Screw 4WD 6.2L w/3.73 locker truck I looked at had 2866 lbs of payload. It was only $48,200 MSRP at the time and was cheaper than a new 2016 F150 configured exactly the same with HD Payload package and mirrors.
I almost bought it until I came to my sense I started talking other owners and found a 12 mpg mixed and 15-16 mpg city ACTUAL fuel economy. I commute a good distance, and needed slightly better fuel economy than that. So I have my truck in the signature which has all the tow and payload capacity I'll need for my next RV upgrade.
Really loved that F250 and that 6.2L in that truck really didn't feel as weak as thought it would. It felt to have the around the same power as my previous 2010 XLT F150 Screw 4WD 5.4L 3V w/3.55 LS. Not a powerhouse like the F150s w/5.0L but plenty to get the job done.
