After way too much stalling and research I am going to buy a new truck to replace the Tundra (great truck but we need more room ) I think I like the F 150 the best. I am looking at a Screw 4X4 6.5 bed with the Max Tow package (3,5 EB, 3.55 rear end) The tow rating is stupid high but the limiting factor is of course the door weight rating.
The numbers
Our trailer is a Jayfeather 242, dry weight 4750, GVWR 6500 pounds. (At this stage of my life any new trailers will be smaller not bigger)
Truck Door weight rating should be in the 1800 pound range
I know some have not been too happy with the new F 150 towing but Ford it seems up sized the frames and rear ends for 2018.
Should I go with the LT tires on the order or will the standard P tires be OK
Anyone have any thoughts or experience with the F 150s. This might be my last truck so I want it to work out.
