Message: [QUOTE="GreenF350, post: 649844, member: 7731"] Holy crap that is a lot more pin weight than I was thinking. I know the "Toy hauler" setups actually end up with a lower pin weight when loaded due to the weight being behind the axles, but....wow. I need to get my truck BACK on the scales and look at individual axle weights. These old trucks are pathetically rated and I am trying my best to stay within the limits, but I don't think I will officially be able to do it. I know the truck weighs 8200# with me in it and almost a full tank of gas in everyday trim and that only leaves me 1700# before I am over and that would include pin weight. How the hell are people towing around 30'+ bumper pulls that weigh 7k-10k# with half ton trucks. Pisses me off that a new F-150 with the ecoboost can be rated to tow 11,300# but my F-350 is only rated to tow 10,000#. :cursing: WTF? Ah well. Thanks for the info on the trailer. I might have to go even smaller yet and skimp on the living quarters. Worst part is I can't even just go buy a F-350 dually with the 7.3 because they are rated with the same GCWR as mine and weigh more so their capacity is actually lower than mine. :lame: Hmmmm.....decisions. -Aaron [/QUOTE]
