This is more of a vent than anything else, I have a 01 F-250 7.3L powerstroke. We last year bought a Prowler P289, we ran the truck and trailer over the CAT scale's over the weekend, and let me say, I'm baffled at the result's.
My truck as it sit's without the camper came in at 8080lbs, now the GVWR is 8800lbs.
The total of both the truck/camper came in at 17,520lbs which I'm allowed 20K combined.
Problem, the pin weight is at 22% so it's a tad nose heavy, my issue is that the truck is way over the weight. So why in the world does Ford make a truck that they call a "Super Duty" that has such a low carry capacity?? In fact the 5th wheel we have is a light camper compared too most that way over the 10K mark dry, am I just missing something???
