Payload Capacity Question

[DFS]

We were looking at a 22ft trailer, but the tongue weight on most of these are 600-640lb. With a Weighsafe WD Hitch at 135lbs and propane tanks and battery add another 125lb, I'm over 800lb tongue weight with zero passengers and cargo. Probably just going to get a F350 Tremor 7.3 and get a little bigger trailer under 8K-10K.

Thanks for the info.

Why a F350 with gas engine? F250 with gas will be more than adequate for what you've described. A F350 with diesel if you want to do serious towing.

OK, that clarifies things. I would not consider a 22' trailer small and with a dry TW of 640 lbs plus all the extras, you will be way over the capacity of any Raptor. My dry TW was listed at 720 lbs on my medium TT, but the Sherline scale shows it varies between 900-1000 lbs based on loading.

I bought a 2021 F250 Tremor Diesel, but a gasser will do just fine. By the way, there is no difference between the axles and leaf springs on the F250 / F350 Tremors because they both have the High Cap Towing package. Unless you need the door jamb sticker to have a higher payload number, the F250 is the same physical truck for $1000 less. Plus, there are a lot more F250 Tremors on the lots.

See my previous post, the F250 and F350 Tremors are identical trucks other than badges and door jamb stickers.

I tow a 3500lb bassboat with my Raptor w/o issue.

My 16' tandem enclosed utility trailer with a Can Am Side By Side in it squats the 2017 Raptor hard and it's stability at freeway speeds is not the best. It's definitely not a tow vehicle. Even our 2012 F150 2wd Harley Edition is much more stable towing the same trailer.

I have a 20' aluminum tilt bed car hauler and it weighs about 2,000 lbs. We loaded our General and a buddies Honda Pioneer on it and it pulled just fine, we were around 6,000 lbs or better. I ended up putting air bags on the truck to level out when pulling my trailer.

I bought a toy hauler, 6150 lbs with 800lb tongue weight, towed fine even wihtout the weight distributing hitch installed.

What's your payload with the diesel?

Which toy hauler did you get? I'm looking at toy haulers but all over the place with the weights, hitch weight, etc. So I'm trying to figure out which one works best loaded with a SXS, fuel, food, H20, gear, etc.
