That thing will be flapping in the wind behind a 350 ?

I don't run into a lot of campers who tow with a stripped down truck. Most of them are doing long trips and towing is always a little stressful, so it's better to have the comforts and technologies. Bottom line is I think the PB and F150s in general are amazing trucks. I am glad to have had mine...

GVRW is not the issue, it's payload which the PB system does affect. My 660 lbs tounge weight trailer came in at 950 by the time we were ready to roll. That meant with just me, my wife, and two small kids in the cab, we were already at max payload per the sticker. If you're staying within the...

The hybrid componentry weighs around 300 pounds. That isn't free weight when it comes to affecting payload. I don't think the long bed adds much in terms of payload, but longer wheelbase generally transfers to better stability when towing.

I'll add one thing too though, the Ford felt the stiffest out of the HD trucks to me. Might have been because I test drove a Tremor, I don't know. The Ram 2500 felt closest to a half ton, but felt cheaper to me. The GMs were right in the middle of feeling manageable and well refined.

Thanks! I was worried about all that too. I was surprised how smooth it is in the road though. Rough roads you definitely feel the stiffness of the rear end unloaded. But average roads and towing, it's just as good as my F150 was. One of the factors you can consider to bridge the cost gap is you...

I think you'll be fine. My issue with the Powerboost was the hybrid + high trim + short bed made for the worst possible pay load config. If I was to do it over and go for an F150, I would get a long bed Ecoboost or V8. I now view the long bed as a must for towing a travel trailer on a half ton...

Well, it appears my time on the F150 forum will be short lived. Went big and over to the "other guys." I really loved my F150. It was my first Ford and this is my first Chevy, so no loyalty either way, but I was really impressed with how smooth and quiet the ride on the 2500 is. Ride was much...

What trailer? How does it tow?

So this is what I am working with based off the Ford calculator. 741 available tongue load on the truck, with a 616 factory tongue weight on the trailer (but I also added another battery). 7410 max trailer weight with a 6995 GVRW on the trailer. Looks like I can make it work, but too close to...

Sorry was having trouble getting on the forum earlier. Payload is 1301, GVRW is 7350, and GAWR is 4150 rear 3900 front.

I'd probably do the 250 before upgrading the 150 too much. I really like the Pro Power, and my wife loves the massage seats of course, but I am finding only one 250 nearby with those options, and it's about $40k more than my truck, and 40k can buy a really nice generator and plenty of good...

I can check in the morning, but I am pretty sure it is 1303.

Hey all. I have a 22 Platinum PB with the 5.5 bed. Has max tow and every other option which made me think it was a great choice for a future travel trailer. Well, the future is now, and we bought a 25.4x8x10ft10" travel trailer with a gvrw of 6995 pounds and a hitch weight of 616. Because of the...
