Thank you! You have or did have a newer FORD F150? Our F150 is a 2014. This is very important to me as I have been told by many, many that the Ford has the right capabilities? Also, I don't understand how you got to 3500 pounds if you load light? Do you mean 2500 lbs which is certainly more in line w the correct numbers with the add ons of the mandatory Wolf Pack and the fluids/tanks/batteries, etc.
My Arctic Fox, fully loaded, came in 1000 lbs heavier than anything predicted by weighing the options or listed on the sticker. It lists a wet weight with 40 gallons of water and 60lbs of propane. I verified everything with the CAT scales at the local truck stop. I added air bags and upgraded tires, wheels and shocks to make it roadworthy.
As far as I can tell, every one of the factory weight estimates is based on 2 pound per gallon of water and 1 pound per gallon propane with no food, clothes, equipment or grey water in the camper. Truckcamper magazine gets pretty close in their estimates.
