I fully agree M GO BLUE. I ran all my numbers prior to purchasing the new TV. Although our plans are to go with a larger TT, we are not going too crazy on the size upgrade. The TT we are looking at has a max GVWR of 8600. The payload of the new F150 (with maxtow package) is 1,870#, with a tow rating of 11,100#. We are on a seasonal site now days, so my towing will mainly consist of taking the camper to/from its covered winter storage location to the CG.


Good to see you already knew that...some don't realize that (same thing happened when the Hemi engine came out)...

Have fun with the new TT!
Really have to watch inflated rating numbers too. My old 96 10k rated 3500Dually handles my 5er in wind and bad road conditions much better than my 13.5K rated 2500 hands down. It was much more truck than my newer Dodge. All those high ratings are good for longevity , but if your truck's not heavy enough,
road and wind conditions will let you know soon enough.
