Opinion on Truck Reliability
I upgraded travel trailer last year and the new trailer weighs approximately 8000lbs. I've been towing with a 2017 3.5l ecoboost. The power has been great....no issues there but I have felt uncomfor...

Lighten up, Francis.
Truck payload is always important in discussing towing.
Especially for 1/2 tons and diesel powered 3/4 ton trucks. Sadly, with the diesel eating up so much of the GVWR, many 1/2 ton trucks can meet or exceed a diesel powered 3/4 ton’s payload.
First, good old movie quote!
Second, your last sentence is why some "think" it's soooo important, but for the context of this thread it is of ZERO productive concern and the fact that you think a heavy diesel up front materially affects payload over the rear axle to any real degree is laughable.
But that's why towing and payload "capacity" are 2 of the most deadly beaten horses around here...
Well, that and the antagonistic attitude of some who, like pre-schoolers ask the same inane question over, and over, and over, and over and....you get the point.
If you actually are interested in the payload rating, you can look it up in under 2 minutes for virtually any newer truck out there.
No need to repeatedly ask every person who talks about their truck "But what is the payload?"
