My 2006 F350 pulled our new 405TS but it was definitely over it's max capacity. Looked at a ton of used trucks and decided to go new...

2017 F350 XLT:

Good lookin Combo

Thank you! I want to try to hit a scale while we're out. I know I'm under all my ratings (GAWR, GVWR & GCWR) but it does look like its sagging a bit in the rear. Might need some air bags??

Timbren load boosters are on the list for me. Easy installation and virtually no maintinence. My truck doesn't sag now but might when I load ATVs on to the Dimondback cover.

Lookin good!

That looks supersweet!
My 2016 RAM sags a little as well with the RAPTOR, but not bad... after I get my big butt in the truck probably helps

I'm sure loading the golf cart (behind the rear axle) will help take a little pin weight off as well. I've never seen the Timbren before, will have to check those out.

Congrats on the new truck! Awesome looking setup. Best of luck with it!!

Thanks Javi. My previous truck was a dually too but the 405TS was above it's max capacities...



I stopped at the weigh station right after getting the camper (with the old truck). Had some difficulty communicating with the attendant so my weight with the 2 disconnected had my entire truck on the drive axle scale instead of separated but it confirmed what I already knew...

Disconnected
Truck: 8640
Trailer: 17,200
Gross: 25,840

Connected:
Steer Axle: 4,820
Drive Axle: 8,300
Trailer: 12,720
Gross: 25,840

6.0 specs (from the door sticker):
Front GAWR: 6,000
Rear GAWR: 9,000
GVWR: 13,000
The GCWR is not listed but from what I can find, it looks like with my axle (4N, 4.10) it's rated for 23,500.

Sooooo.... I was 120 lbs over on my GVWR and 2,340 over on my GCWR.


I'll try to re-weigh this coming week with the new truck but I'm certain I'm under all the ratings now.
