It's a 1500. They no longer make the 2500. GCWR is of TV is 14k. Payload is 1469#. Maximum tongue weight with WD hitch states 1000 lbs. 7500 GVW which we will be right at. So 7500 plus 6145 = 13645. Almost at the suggested GCWR of 14k. We haven't taken delivery yet! Maybe that should be the next step. I do have a F-150 with a GVWR of 7200# and a GCWR 15.5k. The issue with the truck is it seats 5. And I don't think leaving one child at home is an option.
Something else I have a question about is altitude. We are @ 5300ft here and will be towing in mountain areas around 9000ft. I heard somewhere that you should reduce your GCW by 2% per 1000ft at altitude.
