Re: can't get the gvwr math to work
Having just done all the research to buy a new Ford, I can say that there are charts in the Ford towing documentation that calculates (estimates) the truck cargo weight based on chassis and engine. This particular chart (page 12 in the 2018 document) deducts the weight of the total number of passengers at 150 pounds each from the payload. By doing some simple math with the number of passengers you normally carry you can adjust for your situation.393Views0likes0CommentsRe: '16 F250 w/o in-bed 7 pin plug & how to get a camper package
WyoBull wrote: I had my Ford Dealer install the 7-way plug in the bed. The only way you can get it from the factory is if you order the 5th wheel prep package. It was an easy job for them to do and it looks just like it came from the factory. WyoBull - With the 7-way in the bed is it easy or difficult to hook the camper cord? I have an Adventurer 89RBS on order to fit in a new F350. Debating whether to install an in bed plug, or go with the OEM plug on the bumper. Seems like the in-bed plug would be cleaner wiring. I don't tow a trailer normally.636Views0likes0Comments
