HELP! We are heading West from Florida to Washington state for work. I have a 2013 F150 SuperCab v8 5.0 with 355 ratio re. The Ford service department gave me the towing capacity of 9600 lbs with 13800 gcwr. I am not sure where you all find all the numbers listed in posts.
We have been looking at the 5th wheel 1/2 ton towables, Jayco 27.5 RLTS and Grand Design Reflection 29rs. Both are dry weight 8000lbs. Naturally the dealers are telling me my truck can pull them both with no issues. So I come to you guys to help a newbie out. I can not get a bigger truck at this time so I have to find a trailer I can tow across the country and possibly live in for a year so comfort is a big concern. To get the same floor plan in a TT they are coming in around 34' which to me is a bit longer then I would want.
I know this is a topic over killed but I am not sure how to find all the proper ratings.
