Re: Which truck would be better for my TT
I have been looking at the F250's and man they are expensive. Couple questions. Does a weight distribution hitch help with the tongue weight at all? Can I make any modifications to an F150 that will help me with the load such as air bags, tires etc...?255Views0likes0CommentsWhich truck would be better for my TT
I have a keystone outback 312BH its 35.5 feet long. Here are the specs Shipping weight = 7304 Carrying capacity = 1696 Im trying to decide the best truck to pull this with. Im thinking either the Tundra "I love Toyota" or the Ford F150. Here are some comparisons between the two trucks. Been researching and this is what I came up with. F150 vs Tundra Towing capacity F150 = 11,800 Tundra = 10,200 ------------------ GCWR https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_combined_weight_rating F150 = 17000 Tundra = 16000 ------------------ GVWR https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_vehicle_weight_rating F150 = 7000 Tundra = 7000 ------------------ GAWR https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_axle_weight_rating F150 Front = 3525 Rear = 3800 Tundra Front = 3900 Rear = 4150 ------------------- Load Capacity "from sticker inside driver door" F150 = 1810 Tundra = 1202 ------------------- Horse Power/ Torque http://auto.howstuffworks.com/auto-parts/towing/towing-capacity/information/horsepower-versus-torque.htm F150 HP = 365 @ 5000 rpm Torque = 420 @ 2500 rpm Tundra HP = 381 @ 5600 rpm Torque = 401 @ 3600 rpm --------------------- Gas milage "under normal driving" F150 City = 16 Highway = 22 Average = 18 Tundra City = 13 Highway = 18 Average = 15 What would you guys suggest?16KViews0likes90Comments
