I will repeat this again. Any 5th will that has much over 2500 lbs dry pin weight will not work with a SRW TV. Chris
That is an over statement and not true. My real world pin weight is 3040lbs for my F350 SRW pulling a 40ft. 16500GVW trailer. All Ford Specs are met except combine weight which is 400 lbs over. Axle and carrying are well in spec. The 400 lbs over combined is not a real world problem as far as I am concerned. In that 400lbs is a generator, 12 gal of extra fuel with a full truck tank, 100 lbs of misc like tools, a passenger, a trailair pin box, 20k Reese pro fifth wheel and a cat.
Read what I posted again. the 2500 is dry weight. What I posted is a way to estimate loaded pin weight. What is the dry pin weight of your trailer? the percentage does not vary that much, however can be effected by washer and dryer as I stated.
