Long post...in October 2020, hubby and I bought a 2017 Ford F150 ecoboost in anticipation of upgrading our TT. In December 2020 we bought a 343VIK (our dream camper). All numbers under, but just barely. Took our first trip last month and while everything was ok, I did not feel comfortable. Truck was “squirrelly” and we both could definitely tell we were pulling a 38ft sail. He was thinking to add airbags to help, but being the loving, caring wife that I am.......(hubby is giving me the eye roll) Fast forward to today...I am ready to pull the trigger (read: let him buy 🙂) a 2021 Ford F250. We have run all the numbers 15 times, but figured it wouldn’t hurt to have more eyes on these. Truck is 6.2l V8, 3.73. Payload = 3210, Towing capacity = 12,500. We got these numbers confirmed from a VIN search through Ford. TT = 11,000 fully loaded and tongue weight is 1160. I know we cannot get truly accurate numbers without weighing, but just want to make sure we are buying enough truck for our camper. Is there anything you see that would raise a red flag?
Edit to add: we are weekend warriors and will make one, maybe 2, longer trips a year usually no more than 4 hours from home. It’s just the hubby and I with our 2 fur babies.
