Sourdough sir.... you really think it has a 2000 lb pin weight when loaded for travel? Where did you come up with that 2000 lb figure? Spec sheet said it had a 1190 dry pin weight (yeah I know that doesn't mean diddly squat). Actually the scaled dry pin weight was 1145 (included battery & full propane) so I surmise theirs is a general guesstimate like the yellow sticker is on the truck.
....yes sir I've scaled it ready yo travel and no it doesn't have a loaded pin weight of 2000 lbs. FYI...scaled loaded pin weight is....1450.
Here are the #'s for our setup. So yes a properly equipped & loaded F-150 can "SAFELY" tow & stop a properly matched 5'er.
Truck loaded is;
FAW 3380 of 4050
RAW 3100 of 4800
Total 6480 of 8200
5er loaded is;
Pin 1450
AW 6900
5'er 8350
GVWR 9960
Sorry didn't mean to hijack this thread, but there is just so much false beliefs & misinformation about a so called 1/2 ton being able to tow a 5'er. I know the it can be done with a little bit of or maybe allot of homework, with matching the right 5'er with the right truck. JOMO Good Day!
