Thank you everyone for jumping in with your support and kind words! My biggest concern at this point is "how do I estimate which RVs have a trailer hitch weight I can support?" I know this will be an estimate, but I want to be careful I don't overload my truck from the start. Is 14% of the trailers GVWR a safe assumption for purchasing? Or any other advice to estimate this?
I would use a scale to weigh after purchase, but not sure I have that option when purchasing.
@Boomerweps - you are correct on the values! My truck has the 53A standard tow package. Max Tow Package is only available for 3.5 ecoboost. Thanks again for the previous advice also.
@Merrykalia - agreed. Hind sight is always 20/20. On the flip side, it REALLY is a nice truck haha.
