So based on your earlier post of having a RAWR of 6340 that leaves you with 2800 left over for pin weight. Did you weigh it with the hitch in the truck? That's higher than I thought it would be. No I have not bought a hitch yet because I don't know that a fifth wheel will work. I have a B&W gooseneck so I was leaning toward a companion due go ease but it appears its heavy.515Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2017 f250 towing fifth wheel
Ok so as I wait to be able to get my truck weight on a scale. Ive done some research and my truck is rated to tow 15.000lb weight distributing. I'm not stuck on getting a fifth wheel just know they tow a lot nicer but that being said this unit would only be used several times a year. does anyone have any recommendations on a travel trailer style toy hauler that has separate garage? id really like separate front bedroom299Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2017 f250 towing fifth wheel
I appreciate that sir! this is the info I'm looking. trying to make sure #1 my family is safe and #2 I'm legal. although it don't make since that a f150 and 250 are anywhere near each other in towing. I have owed both and they are nowhere in the same ball park when it comes to power, braking or handiling with a load on. so if I was to exceed this payload limit being the rear tires, wheels and axles are rated higher what are the repercussions?299Views0likes0Comments
