Please keep in mind that all this calculating is only best guess.
The real numbers come from the CAT scales. I have had my tongue weight vary from 8% to 13%.
I have also had my TT weight vary up to 400 lbs. depending on what items I could not live without on each trip.
I am sure an F-250 would be a better match to my TT then my F-150 but I own what I own. We have had good performance with our combination.
We started by renting the TT we thought we wanted and discovered my old 200 hp. half-ton was not going to work.
We learned a lot really quickly.
