1997 F-250 7.3L PSD Ext Cab, 4x4, 5-spd, Superchipped, Brake controller, 33" BFGs -have no truck manual or truck history to rely on. 8800lb GVWR on the door, but no GVCWR.
Just added air bags and am looking to put in a 3400lb Arctic Fox camper. Am now worried that the payload is too high for the truck, despite camper sales guys that say they do it all the time w/o incident. I'd like to also tow 6k in my trailer at the same time.
Can't locate the truck's curb weight nor the axle weight dry to verify. Can someone help and/or provide history that it's good or bad to do? Buying this weekend  |
Camper sales guy??? Whew...good luck with getting accurate info there!!
I purchased a new 10k trailer from one of them...As I was signing the paperwork,I mentioned that i needed a new ball to go with the trailer. The guy brought out one of the proper size...but rated for 6k only.
Youve got to pay close attention and assume nothing when dealing with some sales folks....their brain neurons seem to work a little differently than most.
