Re: Newbie needs help with tow ability
The GVWR for the trailor is 7,600. Unit dry is 5686 and the cargo we will carry will be my hubby, dog, 35 to 40 lbs each and everything we carried in our popup. Really not more than 1000 lbs ever. And the 2013 upgrade truck is 14,900 sale and we cant find a 2500 anywhere less than 25k and that was a 2010 with almost 200,000 miles. So a gas vs a diesel, the D is not better when pulling?431Views0likes0CommentsNewbie needs help with tow ability
I am hoping to get your advice and help. We have recently upgraded to a 2018 sunset trail 291RK that is 33.33 feet long and weighs 5600 lbs dry weight. We are trading in a 2006 Ford F 150 that we were concerned about the ability to tow our trailor. We are upgrading to a 2013 Ford F150 STX Supercab 4x2 with a 5.0L V8. Ax 3.31,WB 133, GVWR 7150, GAWR 3600, Rear GAWR 3850, Looks like I can tow 8500? Is that the way it reads? We purchased the Blue Ox. We pick up Wed and i just want to make the right choice. I cant really spend the xtra 20k for a 250 model of truck...help!! advice or feedback please! I know all the specs can anyone help me walk through this?2.9KViews0likes18Comments
