Jay Feather 22RB Alternatives
Hi all! I've been in the market for a travel trailer to tow with an F150 and absolutely love the floor plan of the Jay Feather 22RB (5565 lbs dry weight and 6500 lbs gross). However it is only a ha...

Thanks for all your replies! I’ve got a 2020 F150 Screw 4x4 2.7L ecoboost. Max payload is 1590lbs. Curb weight is 5020lbs and GCVWR is 12,900lbs - that leaves just shy of 6300lbs for towing assuming I max the payload.
The 22rb is 5565 dry and 6500 gvw (approx 800lb tongue weight) which in theory isn’t a problem but my concern is that everything is very close to max. I’ve never towed that close to everything tipping the scales. I live pretty close to sea level and would be using it mostly in the Rockies which would be a several thousand feet elevation increase and from reading others experiences, you want to have a little more wiggle room to maintain control in those situations. What are your thoughts on this? Would a high quality WDH provide adequate control in this scenario or should I look for something smaller?
I’d like to add that I was originally in the market for an F-250 but my work heavily subsidized F-150s specifically and it was a no-brainer financially to go that route so I’m limited in sticking with the F-150.
Thanks for all your input!
- also thanks Wandering! I’ll have a look at the Clippers.
