More weight on the front than I expected. I'm guessing you weighed yours? How much do you weigh? SCREW? Moonroof? I have a no moonroof SCREW and sticker payload is 1205. Great info. Thanks.
Hahahahahahaa.... I weigh 194. Fuel... in the summer... might weigh ~6lb/gal.
CAT Scale today (first full day with the 2020 SCREW Raptor - gotta get shish figured out.).
Actual Sticker Payload... if only. hahahahaaa. Moonroof means future repairs & no ice cream for me.
FYI: The 8lbs of payload overhead in that example was pulled from a 1/2 empty tank (1,038lbs payload).
Suspension when hauling.
I'm setting up my 2023 37' Gen 3 right now. We bought a Small off road RV. Made by Outdoors RV in Oregon. It is made for off road use and 4 seasons, perfect for some off grid camping. I have the Geiser springs, so it's lifted a little bit also. I'm going with the New B&W Continum hydraulic...

Hey all I just wanted to say thanks for all the insight. I think what I'll probably end up doing is getting a 6300lb trailer and putting some deavers and a nice WDH. Pull it from KC to Omaha (no real mountains) for a test. If that goes well then into WY via I80 for the second test. Then if it passes both of them go into Salt Lake, there is a pretty tough pass and downgrade there. If that comes out OK, then I think I'll be good. If not I'll either be dead or I'll have to add on some more additions.
Not sure if its on your list or not, but get a 170 (or 180) Thermostat to help with the Temps when towing. Fans will come on a lot sooner.
If you really want to go all out then get an intercooler as well and get a Stage 2 Goosetune + Tow Tune.

It'll work out just fine, until it doesn't. Could be the first trip or 1000 later. Not saying the Raptor can't tow something like that, but you don't use a finishing hammer for framing.

Well, then I was planning to go into northern Nevada (Elko). I figure each stage of the trip gets harder and utilizes different aspects of the tow. You got the flat country, small uphill grades, a big downhill grade, and then climbing up higher into the Rockies.
@Nex, true but honestly anything can go wrong to anything at anytime and usually goes wrong at the worst time.
