Help with truck capabilities
Hello all, Can my truck pull this? I am new to the travel trailer world and am currently looking at purchasing a Jayco Eagle 324 BTS. This trailer is about 36 ft long and has a dry hitch weight...

if you are trading the truck, spend the little bit extra for the 1 ton. it gets you more payload for the eventual trailer upgrade that everyone ends up doing..
I could sure see that happening. Now that I have started down this road I am not sure where to stop.
Yeah it does get rather silly on a RV forum when you ask a weights question with the lawsuit myth and ya' gotta' have a one ton to pull a trailer or a 1/2 ton is just a grocery getter.
The F250 will have no issues pulling the TT in your OP nor will it have any issues pulling its tow rating nor carry weight up to the trucks 6100 RAWR/tire capacities. Front axle doesn't carry much if any weight with a bumper pull or a GN/5er.
Some say get a F350 SRW. The neat thing about a F250, or any '00s 3/4 ton is the owner can install higher rated tires/wheels and air bags or similar rear suspension help and have the same load carrying capabilities as the one ton SRW.
You sure don't need a one ton DRW for that job unless your into over kill.
