Hello all, I'm new to the forum, it looks very helpful. I have a question about pulling with a F-250. We shopped today for a new rv, thinking about a 32ft bumper pull. The dealership is trying to sell us a weight distribution system and a sway bar. Do I need a weight distribution system? Do I need a sway bar? The trailer is 7765 pounds unloaded, and a dry hitch weight of 780lbs. I'm thinking I don't need the weight distribution, but maybe a sway bar? Thanks for any help!
Check your F-250's owners' manual and see if it is addressed in the section on towing. On my 2005 Ram 3500, the owners' manual stated a weight distributing hitch with sway control should be used in any Class IV/Class V towing application, or if the weight of what you are towing exceeds 60% of the truck's GVW.
