Yeah, if you read through some of my old posts you’ll see we are in the same boat.
Tow guide is a “blind guide” The F250 has something like 3550 payload, well that’s a truck that doesn’t exist, you will never find it. Regular cab flintstone powered.
I bought my F250 thinking I was fine, well I’m not. I’m looking at a DRW. (Bought it first with TT, fell in love with big 5th)
Trying to steer away but can’t. Thankfully I’m 1.5 yrs into the truck and have light at the end of the tunnel so to speak. We think we can swing a new truck end of the year.
Sorry bro, it sucks. My heart goes out to you.

And yes, I argue that when you play around a build a truck on any manufacturer website, it should be law that it has a yellow sticker at the end of the build so you can see what options/packages do to the payload.
It’s downright ridiculous that you have to guess, or be mislead on this. I’m pulling door handles on trucks to read stickers all the time now. I hate even being on a lot, salespeople make me cringe. I already knew more about their trucks and now that I know about the door stickers and payload, they serve zero purpose in my life when shopping for a truck.

Bottom line..,your over the truck GVWR by about 1,000 lbs. Scale the TV and Montana and do the he calculations. You’re in the range of 3,000 vertical in the truck bed.

He doesn’t own it. He is making sure before he buys it. Smarter than most, including me.

Yeah...my 2018 F350 long bed crew cab DRW is 14,000 GVWR with a door tag of 5,800. I’m at 12,800 GVWR with my 3,000 vertical load from a Montana 3120RL rated at 16,000 GVWR. Just spent 7 months on the road, 18,500 miles, and couldn’t be more pleased with the selection of TV.

DRW are way to go. I struggle with getting one, the width and such, but I need one. Everyone says how much better the trucks handle the 5th. No as much struggle and pushed around

Yep, DRW will give you the payload you need. The width you will get use to.
