your not realizing that the rear axle and the tires are the limiting factors. Your rear gawr is probably not 7580 lbs like you scaled. You said you have the upgraded 10,800 gvwr packaage but you still need to look at the rear axle rating, then the sum of the 2 rear tires. Your CAT scale said 7580 and you mentioned your tire weight capacity is 3500 each.. your at the limit 100 % of the time. Great video btw. If you happened to have an accident- a lawyer will eat you alive for being over the weight rating of that truck.. Get a dually, thats a heavy rig. I have a 36' toy hauler and it dont scale as much as yours.

Who cares hotel 6 leaves the light on for a hell of alot cheaper and they will clean up afterwards. Who wants to pull there house with them

I also had an older model f250, and the only difference between the two was the f350 had 1 inch blocks under the rear leaf springs.

Wonder what your driving today?

Just curious, its been a year........have you made any changes/upgrades?

My buddy pulls his toy hauler keystone raptor 429 which I believe is 44ft 6in and has a unloaded curb weight of 16250lbs but he hauls a can am in the back, I just know his truck has been pulling it with no issue for a couple years now. It's a f250 short bed he said he would like to have a long bed but he likes his truck. 😎👍

Do you use a sliding hitch?

My 2023 F250 has a 3819lb. payload capacity. Rear axle is the 11.6 inch Sterling. 7.3 gasser.

If something happens insurance is gonna have a field day

My Gmc 2500 has 3100 lb payload....the 3500 is 3600-3800lbs...with duramax So it seems about right for 3/4 ton

If you show up to rv sales lot and tell the sales person you will pull an rv with a tricycle they will sell it to you. Can’t believe sales person didn’t sell you f250 head light adjustment kit. Point the lights back down toward the road and you’re good to go. Did you say pin weight sits behind axle????

Beautiful! How are you doing?

Beautiful ❤️

350 payload is 4100

Lived here since 1989 born and raised. It's not until you leave your home state, you realize how amazing it is to live there on the Lakeshore

The diesel takes away from the capacity I regret getting a Ram 2500 should have gotten a 3500 wasn't that much more the capacity is greater. If you don't go with the diesel can get more capacity now lose the power and turbo which helps lot at high altitude. I saw another video by someone who had a Ram 2500 he was towing 100 lbs over capacity but using a 5th wheel hitch that moved the weight back some because he didn't want a slider due to 6 foot bed. He said it was not stable driving the trailer rocked and caused the truck to move around lot. I think his problem was due to the fact that back end was dipping his front end was lifting up. Maybe his frame was flexing not sure 5ht wheels you need a 8 foot bed 6 foot beds not good.

On the tire ratings, the door sticker shows specified psi for the vehicle. The max psi for the tire is what is stamped on the tire itself.

You are so over! Stay away from me!!! Short bed to boot. You sir need educated

Your failure point if something failed would probably be the rear axle tires blowing out. Most SRW Rear axles are maxed at 7k due to the tire limits. The axles are always rated for well over. Like 10-12k usually. Trailer sway is your worst enemy in this situation. Duallys will give you more significantly more stability when shit goes bad like wind or rough roads. Running overloaded isn't a "real" problem until something goes wrong like an accident. During the investigation if they find you're overloaded you're immediately screwed basically regardless of what happened. Dont forget though.. your whole family is in that truck with you and it's gonna be a real bad wreck regardless of what happens. Top heavy and a load that outweighs the truck by double is never gonna end good.

im trying it as well let me know what u think after a while

What you didnt mention or maybe didnt consider is ‘insurance’…in an accident if you are beyond legal limits your insurance company decline any claim you make…which they do quite regularly.

Pinedale is my lifelong favorite place to be. As a young boy, I had an uncle who lived in Pinedale and worked in the oil fields. Every summer we go to Pindale and spend the week fond memories from back in the 1950s.

Toss some air lift 5K airbags and a compressor. Then upgrade your tires to F rated 12ply and ride Clyde.

You are delirious if you think your truck is a 350

That is the wrong truck to tow that 5th wheel and I dont care about stickers or PSI. I personally think if you are towing over 15k pounds you should have a dually. Tow over 20k and your trailer should have dual tandems. Just wait till you lose a tire at 70mph.

Bro, super excellent video. Not only did you do a great job of capturing the most important aspects but I’m super lucky cuz I literally just purchased my Solitude 372WB yesterday and I do not have the truck to haul this 42’ behemoth. I drive a Ford F-150 King Ranch which I absolutely love (2018 w 28k miles) and certainly am not get’n rid of….. the wife has a 2011 Acura MDX in fabulous condition w a $10k sound system (sound systems are my hobby) but she offered to sell her car so we could buy another truck to haul our trailer…… uhhh Damn….. O KAY Honey I’ll buy another truck 😂😂😂😂 So, we are going shop for a Ford F-250 diesel crew cab 4x4 since we’ve already had two and loved them cept the wrong year but that’s another discussion…. This video was unique to me cuz we have very similar trailers and I do not want a Dually or 1 ton cuz my neck is 90% fused as well as certain levels in my low back so the 3/4 ton is a much softer ride yet will tow the same as the 1 ton. It turns out that the drivetrain and power train is the exact same w the Ford F-250 vs. F-350. The ONLY difference is the added overload springs in the rear suspension and a larger stiffer sway bar in the front. Other than that it’s the EXACT same truck. It’s typically about a $1500 dollar difference. Of course that was in the 2004/2006 time frame but I’d venture to say it hasn’t changed much since then as far as pricing goes. I have considered other trucks like the Dodge and its neck and neck I will admit BUT, the Ford still actually out does the Dodge. Now I’m an actual rodeo cowboy and have the pictures, video tape, and buckles (and ex-wife) to prove it and I’m not partial to any one manufacturer… just want a truck that dies the job and lasts if I take care of her. Now my 04 6.0ltr. I had to do a buy back from Ford BUT I still believed in their product and gave’m another shot. I bought a 2006 and received in 2005 so I was considered ahead. Lariet trim package again. Beautiful truck. Loved it. BUT I replaced practically EVERYTHING on that truck. Granted it was under warranty but I had a lot of lost time and inconvenience. At 117k in mileage, I gave up and sold my baby. Sad day cuz I appreciated that truck and all the work it did for me. ANYWAYS, forward and technology has changed and motors have changed…..etc. all that to say …that being said, I appreciate your video cuz it helps a guy like me feel solid about my research and interest in basically the same truck/set up since we literally just bought a 2021 Grand Design Solitude 372WB trailer and want to make sure we are purchasing the right truck for our needs and set up. I apologize for being long winded w this reply but it meant A LOT to us and we were extremely grateful. So thank you again and God Bless you and your family and be safe out there. If we were so lucky we would cross paths out there and be able to shake your hand in person and maybe make dinner for ya’ll to say thank you. Take good care, Matthew, Lindsay

Impressions are ok. BRING LOTS OF MONEY!!!! EVEN MORE IF YA GO TO Jackson!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for putting out this video. We live in litchfield Ct and this is a very accurate representation of the town. There are great hiking and running trails as well. White Memorial Conservation and Topsmead Forest are beautiful green spaces to visit. Lake Waramaug is a fun and busy area and it’s neat to drive around and look at the houses facing the water.

Omg you went to my fav place peach fork 🍑😍

especially glenwood canyon 😍

Dad hates everything about this camper 😂

Low level of diversity? You just took over 6 minutes to talk about how diverse this area is. Like you, we think this place is perfect. Not sure what else you're looking for. If you're looking for all a big city has to offer, you need to go elsewhere. The only downside is the increasing number of people visiting and moving here post-Covid that want to bring their idea of paradise or home to this part of Wyoming.

If you buy a trailer house, buy a single screw haul truck….TRUCK! Any thing less, unsafe.

I really don’t care whether an age group thinks about my socks are cool. I care that it’s hot out and my ankle socks are cool (temperature) & cozy af. But now that I know it bothers them, I’m going to wear my ankle socks even harder.

Before trucks came with all the #’s it was common practice to believe that you don’t go beyond flattening the leaf springs your ok.

Buy an international 4700 or alike. Kinda overkill but it is great. Family member bought one for 56ft camper

Whats in the bottle, just soapy water?

So all things considered, what do you think is the best place to live in Wyoming?

I find it best to search “specialty coffee”. Otherwise I follow a similar pattern to what you suggest here. Nice work 👍

Payload, Payload, Payload. period. I have 2015 Ram, 6 4L Hemi, 4:10 axle ratio. Payload 3200 lbs Pulling a 42ft Forest River Sabre , 11,400 dry weight. Tongue weight 2100lbs I personally never would have paired your camper and truck together. Be safe out there

Brother you are way over cargo capacity and you are asking for trouble sorry it is what it is

Why is all I can say. Why did you purchase a F250 instead of a F350 in the first place? Makes no sense. Why a short bed instead of a long bed? Makes no sense. Why do vehicle manufacturers even make a F250 or 2500 HD? Makes no sense or does it. Could it be some states consider a one-ton a commercial vehicle and by doing so are forcing consumers to buy inferior vehicles? The government is at work as usual making us as unsafe as they can.

For starters the axles in the f250 and f350 are different.

I see some F250 trucks are 4x4 and others (like yours) is Fx4. Does this matter when towing?

This was great! Keep it up 👍

It's the green machine

I don’t think you can be ticked for that, the truck is still able to pull that amount of weight. I don’t think that dot would care if your trailer is putting too much weight on your truck

starbucks is like the taco bell of mexican food.

You are an adult man. They dress like toddlers. They wear my mom‘s jeans from 1987. There is a very good reason we stopped looking like that. Every teen boy has hair like an alpaca.

This is wrong, the overload spring in a 350 are stronger, 90% of what you brought up has nothing to do with payload.
