Cougar 25BHSWE Weight w/ My Truck
My wife and I are thinking about purchasing a new travel trailer. She has her eyes set on the Keystone Cougar 1/2 Ton 25BHSWE. My concern is if my truck is enough to safely tow this trailer. Here is what I have:
2016 F-150 w/ 5.0 V8 SuperCrew Cab w/ 6-1/2' bed & max tow package.
According to Ford's website, this truck can tow 9,100 lbs. The Cougar has a dry weight of 6,050 lbs. and a GVW of 8,000 lbs. Hitch weight is 620 lbs. and overall length is 29'.
My wife sees the GVW of being less than what Ford says I can tow so she is convinced there is no reason why we shouldn't buy this trailer. I just want to make sure we are safe and not getting sold by the sales person.
What do you guys think?
