Hi All:
Ford dealer says F150 bed payload not strong enough for Keystone Cougar 244RL Dry at 7klbs and we must purchase an F350.
Any input greatly appreciated - F150/F250/F350?
Thanks!
Well depends how you look at it that Cougar has the following specs;
Technical Specifications:
Height (in) 140
Length (ft/in) 26' 9"
Dry Weight (lbs/kg) 6790
Payload Capacity (lbs) 3280
GVWR (lbs) 10070
Hitch Weight (lbs) 1270
Yes it has a 10,070# GVWR, BUT it also has a payload of 3,280! You would be hard pressed to get that much stuff in that 5er. Likely about 900# to 1,200#. Still with range of an F150 EB Max/Max. Just buy the correct F150.
EXACTLY!
