Need Advice - In a Pickle
I have a 2013 (company-owned) F150 SuperCrew with the 5.0 V8, 3.31 gears and 145" WB. It has the tow package and integrated brake control system. Sine it's company-owned, there's no upgrading and no changing the gears, etc. The GCWR is stated at 13,500lbs with a curb weight of 5,254lbs. The tow capacity is stated at 8,000lbs.
I found a screaming deal on a 28ft. TT with with 5,770lbs shipping weight and a GVWR of 7,690lbs. The numbers on paper look decent, with about 1,000lbs of occupants/dogs/stuff & hitch in the truck and throwing another 1,000lbs in the TT for good measure and the numbers seem to indicate around a 800-1,000 left over for good measure.
Does all that sound right? Does anyone else two with the 5.0 in a similar configuration that can set my mind at ease a bit? I'm not new to towing, but my previous TT was around 7,500lbs - but towed with a V10 Excursion.
Need to make a decision quick on the TT. It really is a screaming deal for a 2014 model... Thanks in advance...
