So, today I picked up the tongue weight scale from E-trailer. Looks like a well built piece that I'll use a bunch trying to dial in my cargo.
I also filled the 36 gallon tank and weighed the new F150. Without anybody in the truck she weighs 5880lbs. The GVWR of the F150 is 7200lbs. Am I correct in assuming that the GVWR-Curb weight= Total payload capacity? So, in my case 7200-5880=1320 lbs. payload. If so, I'm better off than I thought because that's 121 lbs. more than the sticker states in the door jamb. Maybe I will get to take both dogs camping after all. :)
I also put more miles on the truck, so I'm up to like 620 now. Closer and closer to the 1k miles Ford states you have to get to before towing. I can't wait to get everything hooked up and loaded to see how it all checks out. Fingers crossed.
