Hey guys
question for you. So my wife and I are looking to get our first 5th wheel and I want to make sure I have done this math correct or if I am over compensating and we could get a larger 5th wheel.
We have a 2017 F-250 diesel. When I look at the payload on the door it says 2272 (which seems low to me but it is what it is) for passengers and cargo. We are looking at the 150 series 5th wheel 268BH with a dry hitch weight of 1274. So my question is... if our payload is 2272 - 1274 (pin weight) - 35 hitch (andersen 5th wheel hitch - 400 (family in truck) that leaves us about 563lbs for supplies, water, propane, and anything else we wanna take along.
Does se this math seem right and is there anything I’m not thinking about here... is that really the heaviest hitch weight 5th wheel we can get with this truck without going over payload? Just wanted to get your thoughts.
thanks
