Well, update time! I returned from deployment and got to work on finding a truck, we ended buying a Ram 3500 diesel dually!! Now on to the fifth wheel!

haha NAH, she already picked the FW she likes, so I'm picking the truck i want!! LOL, by the way the one she really likes is the Sandpiper 372LOK, she fell inlove with it, so guess thats what we are getting.

I will definetly be on the look out for the yellow placards. This numbers came from a nice towing ghuide Ford released for the 2019 models. In such guide, they list trims, as well as different engines, transmisions, and axles showing the different options. Obviously the numbers vary in between...

Great points! I was researching the 2019 models just for the sake of looking at what the different options bring and how much those options affect the max payload and here is what I found: F150 anywhere between 1485# to 2311# F250 3288# to 4315# F350 3761# to 7027# Maybe Im missing something...

We have not looked at it in person yet, as Im currently deployed we are doing our research strictly online until I get back, but that is a really good idea oldgator! We have thought about stopping in rest stops for the night and how that would work out, I know we can buy a generator as well, but...

Goat, thanks again! we are actually looking at one right now that we really like, and as you mentioned, it looks better quality wise, and well insulated, this one also has enclosed underbelly and the artic package, it looks to be light enough for a 3/4 ton truck to handle with no issues...

Thank you everyone for your help! So we are slowly walking away from the Bungalow (we really like it) lol, and looking into more conventional trailers and have started to look at some FW as well trying to find something we both like. I got it know that if we go with a FW and its a fairly sized...

Oh wow Thanks Steve! I did not see that one coming, guess we are gonna have to do some more research.

Thanks Hammster, that's what im gathering so far, those F250's are actually really nice looking trucks! never even considered a ford before, I drive a Tacoma now, and the DW drives the armada, so we have been mostly import drivers for the better of the last 20 years or so!

Thanks for your help grashley! That's the plan to go out and look first, so we wanted to get an idea at what our starting point would be, hence why we haven't bought neither the trailer nor the truck. Doing some research though, I have yet to find that F350 that is only $1000 more than the F250...

AH Dale primo, gracias again! I think Im getting a better picture of the whole thing now!

I like the sound of that, the F250 is much easier on the bank account than the F350! thanks Roy!

LOL that's funny oldgator! Either way, its starting to look like we might have to look for a trailer that's a bit smaller from what everyone is saying. I really thought that it would be a lot easier with a trailer than a FW.

Thanks rbTN! I understand, would it be about the same if it was a 35-37 footer trailer around the same weight?

I thought a one ton truck had way higher payload capacity than 2000? now im really confused, what do you call a 1 ton darsben? I though that was along the line of an F350, maybe I was wrong? Gracias hermano!
