As far as having a larger trailer... what else would I do with my 1 ton truck?
Use it for a slide in camper! ;)
I plan on buying a new truck within the next year and it's going to be a F350. I keep looking at the F150s, but the payload runs out exceptionally quick, especially with a slide in. Heck, I'd be at or slightly over rear axle weight ratings on any new F150 configuration with my current setup since I like to haul so much stuff in the bed.
Yup. Agree with you. As mentioned, I've got a 1 ton, specifically the 6.7L F350 SRW. After looking at slide-ins, I'm getting the feeling I would be better off had I a DRW. My truck actually has a separate certification for a slide-in (heavier front springs and rear sway bar), but I'm still limited by ~3300lbs payload. Some of those very nice AF or Lance slide-ins with multiple slides are up to 4500lbs. Add in a loaded 2 up ATV trailer, that's a good amount of weight and way too much for my SRW's payload.
I do wonder if my wife would let me buy a lighter weight, basic slide in. That way my son and I could go ride in more remote places but we can still do family land yachting in the TT.
Why doesn't money grow on trees?
