GD Imagine 2970RL Towed with F150?
Hi all,
Just joined. We are looking at getting a Grand Design TT. We really like the 2970RL & the 2670MK. The problem and question is can I safety tow either one with my truck? 2017 Ford F-150 Super Crew, 6.5 Bed, Max tow package, 3.5 Eco boost, 10 Speed transmission. The combines weight rating is 171000 lbs GVWR 7000 With a payload of 2042 lbs.
I use the truck for business and we will be moving to NC with it. The truck is loaded with equipment so this is one of my concerns. I scaled it today. I can take some thing out but I scaled it with all equipment, luggage, wife, Dog etc and I'm at 6280 lbs. Front 3220 lbs - Back 3060 lbs.
The 2970 UVW is 7324 lbs Tongue 795 lbs.
So I'm not worried about the length. I have not towed anything this long but I did have a 26' boat for many years. I've never worried to much about weight before.
Does anyone have a similar set up?
Any input would be great.
