dry weight is 6060, I see on the website it says 6500, that isnt right. It also states 33' and so many inches, but they are actually 28'11.7". I pull 6000 frequently with no issues. My Expy doesnt have factory air bags too, which I am glad about(they are very problematic). Camping world has them on sale... they are listed on their site for 18,999.00. It is the Launch ultra lite. Has 2 twin beds in back(bunk style, and a RV queen up front which is being replaced with a residential queen(yes I extended the wood so it fits correctly.
Max weight for my truck is 8650, mine is a 5.4, and would not own it with any other motor. I got a prodigy P1 Brake Controller, and weight distribution hitch with 1000 pound bars and sway control. Pulls like a dream!
We pull a 2017 Grand Design Imagine 2800BH with a 2013 Expedition EL with the 5.4 V8. The dry weight on ours is 6204 lbs. We've been able to tow into the smokey mountains of NC with a family of 4 and 2 dogs and its been fine so you shouldn't have any problems. It's not a race so I usually stay around 60MPH and slow down to 55MPH when tractor trailers or box trucks pass. Slowing to 55MPH prevents the push and pull feel when they pass.
