Keystone Passport 2400BH

Does anyone tow a Keystone Passport Grand Touring 2400BH? Looking at buying one of these and towing with my F-150.

My truck specs:

2016 F-150 w/ 5.0 V8
157” Wheelbase
Payload 1,677
GVRW 7,050 (Front: 3,600 Rear: 3,800)

Trailer:

Dry Weight: 4,843
Carrying Calacity: 1,957
Hitch: 515
Length: 27’11”
  • You have plenty of power, but what do you plan to put in the truck?

    I towed a 2910BH with a 2005 1/2 ton Suburban with the 5.3L/4A/3.42 for a short time. Payload was the issue...

    I eventually moved to a 2011 1ton Express with the 6L/6A/3.42...power and payload were no issue.

    If you abide by weight ratings and have a large family you may not be happy. After four years when the wife was tired of driving a 1 ton and wanted to take longer trips the camper went too because I wasn’t going to tow the 2910 with a half ton again.
  • I tow a keystone sprinter, a little heavier (5100 dry) and same length with my F150 157" 3.5EB with 1500# payload. Tows very good. I would not go any longer or heavier than that. I like the extra length (157 vs 145) as I think the towing is more stable. Good Luck!
  • The rear axle rating seems low so that's probably the spec to keep the closest eye on, but you'd probably be fine. You can give yourself some more safety margin with heavier rated tires (and maybe wheels - you'd have to look that info up).

    Would rear airbags help?
  • Rear air bages level your TV and TT. They don’t increase payload or max weight.

    Keep asking. Someone will say you are a-okay. Then you are good to go! Not.
  • Airbags help with the sag, but with a trailer that size you shouldn't need any more than a properly adjusted weight distributing hitch for that trailer.

    It's probably going to be right around the 6500-7000lb weight range due to optional equipment, water, propane, and all your stuff. It's about all you're really going to want to tow with your F150 for comfort's sake.
