Gas or dieselDo I have this right?I'm looking to purchase a 5th wheel and truck. I've decided on a Denali 262RLX here are the weights. Shipping weight : 8163 Hitch weight : 1677 Cargo capacity : 2397 I looking at getting a f250 diesel and rear axle 3.55 to tow it. GVWR : 10000 Curb weight : 6600 Max payload : 3300 So if the hitch weight for the trailer is 1677 does that mean I have 1623 for loading the truck (actual hitch, people, dog, ...). Does this truck seem like it will handle it traveling across country. ThanksRe: Towing capacityThat leads back to my original question. Given the truck I have what would be the max gvwr of a 5th wheel or travel trailer I should be looking at.Re: Towing capacityThe 7000 would be shipping weight which I guess is dry weight.Re: Towing capacitySay the 5th wheel is 7000 lbs and the rear tires are rated at 4050 lbs max. The 20% is only 1400 lbs.Towing capacityI'm looking to purchase either a 5th wheeler or travel trailer and I'm not sure what the towing capacity is of my truck. Here are the specs for my truck.
