Any advice would be greatly appreciated... recently purchased a new 2016 Ford F150 2.7 Ecoboost Lariat with tow package and 3.55 gearing. The majority of the time would be 2 average sized adults using the camper. The yellow sticker says combined weight of occupants/cargo shouldn't exceed 1443 pounds. The other sticker says GVWR is 6,500 pds. The tongue weight is 550 pds.
Would this truck be able to tow a 23' FB Flying Cloud? Or is it getting into the danger zone. Specs are:
Unit weight w/LP and Batteries: 4,806
GVWR: 6,000
Net carrying capacity: 1,194
Hitch weight: 457
Or would the 22' FB Sport be a better option:
Unit weight w/LP and Batteries: 3,634
GVWR: 4,500
Net carrying capacity: 866
Hitch weight: 393
I do prefer the Flying Cloud but don't want to overtax the truck. Wasn't sure if there were any mods that could be made to make towing the Flying Cloud work.
Many thanks for your input!
