Pin Weight??
Limiting factor will be your payload. You can get an approximate pin weight from the brochure, but they are almost always lower than the real weight. Then figure out the payload of your F-250. ...

Good Points Festus2
I do understand the safety factor, that is true. I did not mean to say any forum members were lazy in backing up, that is a safety issue - just more specifically that parallel parking feature which...

Parking
I know what you mean. The one that kills me are the cars that parallel park for you now. So now people are so freaking lazy they can't even learn how to parallel park, they have to let their car do...

short answer
is yes to a one ton. I did a lot of research and for a 15.5k fiver, the only thing to safely tow it within specs is a one ton dually diesel.

What's funny, is it seems so much wider but the DRW is actually only 16" wider than the SRW. And, the mirrors unextended are 9" wider than the DRW rearend anyway, and 14" wider than the rearend when...

I remember seeing this guide before. It will be interesting to make sure when we pick up the trailer that the tire installer has updated the placard. Once we have the trailer, I will...

Two Different Topics?

I think we may be looking at two different topics now. Your reply discusses the proper way to replace an OEM tire, and the other topic is whether that given tire can operate at different...

I see yours is a 2008 - is it new to you? It should say "Big Sky" on it if it is a Big Sky. If you bought it used, they may have just replaced the tires at some point with the G-rated tires.

E and G
Yes, E-rated are 10-ply and G-rated are 14 ply rated. Current Montanas that are not Big Skys, come with Goodyear Marathon E-rated tires. If they have the Big Sky package, they come with Goodyear...

Hi Jack and Marty,
I guess the best way to look at it is more of a range of tire pressure built into the tire than actually being under-inflated. As per the Goodyear literature, the G614 has a...

CW,

Hi Festus2,
