Wow - forgot all about this thread!
Well, we ended up ordering the Open Range LT272RLS at the end of March and it should be here any day now - the dealer is thinking before June as it was scheduled to be built around the middle of the month.
I know the weights will be close for our Max Tow F150 but I think we'll be well within the specs. I looked at the unit on the dealer's lot which is exactly what we want except we want the table and chairs vs booth dinette. Yellow sticker says the UVW is 7885 lbs so even with 1k of junk we're still well under the 11,200 lbs the F150 can tow.
We're getting the Equalizer hitch as part of the deal so we should be safe that way.
Worst case is it doesn't work and I upgrade to that F350 of my nightmares. :)
