f250

First real tow with the new truck! Not that I am towing that much weight (maybe 5000lbs) but it was a quick little one night getaway before the official camping season starts up here in New England. Towed without WDH to the campground and then with on the way home. I honestly couldn’t tell the...

2019 Ford F250 Super Duty (2019-03-17 20:01:48)

As the story goes, we've been out of RV'ing for about 7 or 8 years and decided now's the time to get back into camping. We started off looking for a TT in the 23' to 25' range to safely tow behind our '11 F150 S-Crew 5.0. Well, we ended up getting a '19 Rockwood 2902WS that I knew would be...

In Mid August Im pulling my 25 pack 12 to washinton from Minnesota..then on from Vacouver to Smithers BC for a month of fly fishing for steelhead. Ive been perusing the available you tube video of the route up there Chilliwack to Kamloops to 150 house...vanderhoof and on to Smithers ! Any...

Hello all, is there someone out there towing a 2012 Sabre Fifth wheel around 31' in length with a 2017 Ford F250 Diesel, question is did you have to make changes to the truck or trailer so the bed clearance was acceptable. Thank You.

Hello, I'm looking for feedback from Reflection 315 RLTS owners who pull with a 2016 F250 Diesel 4x4 trucks and/or anyone with knowledge of vehicle tow capacities. I have the referenced F250 (Lariat) and we're considering buying a Reflection 315 to full time RV sometime in the future. We like...

I must be missing something. Almost everyone recommends a 350 over a 250. Why? I downloaded the 2018 Ford Super Duty brochure because I am planning/hoping for a new tow vehicle in the next 6 months to a year. I scanned these charts directly from that brochure. Ford's own literature shows that...

This was our first trip with our 285drl4 5er and 2019 F250 diesel. Up until now we only towed a 17' tt with a Ford Flex. We love the combination of size, layout, and price of the Arctic Wolf, but if we had a choice of interior decoration, we would opt for light, bright, and BEACHY. In the...

Traded in the Tundra due to inadequate capacity to tow our new Wolf Pack 24pack14+ toyhauler for a new Ford F250 XLT. I got the gas engine with some nice upgrades like NAV, moonroof, heated seats, etc. Used USAA car buying service to negotiate the price. Probably got stung on the trade as...

Fifth Wheel towing wit 2017 F250 SD 6.7diesel, w/ tow package. Anyone towing a OF373RBS Open Range by Highland Ridge with F250SD 6.7 PowerStroke FX4 off road w/ tow package? The factory literature say 16K for weight, but on two models we have seen the important manf sticker says they were in...

Bought my TT a few weeks ago when I had a stock Chevy Z71 1/2 ton. The WDH I got was for that truck. I have recently bought an F250 which sits up higher and my WDH is too high for trailer to get on ball on its lowest setting. So my question is what WDH should I buy to fix this issue?

OK. So I know that this thread runs the risk of getting ugly BUT I was asked to provide an assessment of our most recent trip from Central MD to Pigeon Forge and back in our 2016 F250 6.2l SD. Small background, for the past 2.5 years I've been towing our RW 2703WS with a 2011 F150 EB XLT with...

I checked everywhere I could think of to find the payload of the truck we have on order and came up with 2200-3560 #, so basically useless info. I called Ford directly and gave them the model specifics: 2019 F250/ Supercab, diesel, 4x4, XLT with virtually no options. So as per factory Ford...

I just traded my F150 for a new 2018 F250 6.2 L gas. All of the documentation I can find says that my truck has a 34 gal fuel tank. When I ask the dealer he said it was 29 Gallons. Dealers I take with a grain of salt. Whats making me question this is when I fill the tank at between 1/4 and a 1/2...

Can anyone compare the ride comfort ( by personal experience) between f250 4wd and f250 2wd while towing 32' 5th wheel. I will no longer be in winter conditions but WANT TO STAY W /3/4 TON. Currently tow w 2015 FX off road package but not happy w ride quality. Thanks.

I pulled the trigger on a 2016 F250 6.2l gasser! My F150 EcoBoost has served its purpose as a daily driver that could tow. With 193,000 miles she owes me nothing. The 2016 F250 has 26,000 and the 4:30 rear. Now to get it dialed in to the camper and the E4 Equilizer. Marty

Ok maybe a 2019. I work for a Railroad. From time to time we have load shifted auto racks come into our yard. An auto rack is a railcar that is usually a double decker, with metal grate on the floor to install wheel chocks on automobile to "hold" in place during transport. Best laid plans do not...

I had a quick look to see if this has been dealt with yet. No Joy. So I was filling up on go juice at pulled in beside a fellow F250 6.7 pulling a big 5th wheel (name escapes me), - same apparent length, 18 wheels near duplicate. I was I knew I was a little high in the (front end -5th - not...

Hey All, I just traded my 2012 Ford F-150 with Eco-Boost (which I loved) for a 2016 Ford f-250 Super Duty. I had to use weight distribution bars on my F-150 when towing my Forest River BHS245 (5,300 lbs. dry). I'm wondering if I should continue to use them on my F-250 or can I be done with them?

Ok, I'm going to ask probably a stupid question. I just got a 2018 F250, 6.2 gas truck. I got this because I was too close on my payload on my F150, And that was the only reason. My new truck has everything you would want to see in a tow vehicle. Mirrors, brake controller and on and on. What I...

I have been reading the forum for 7 months and thought I would post my first question. I recently sold a TT with GVWR of 9900 lbs. and want to up grade to a fifth wheel with a GVWR of 10500 lbs. I have a 2015 Silverado 1500 that has a payload rating of 1982 lbs and tow rated at 11900 lbs. I...

Just wanted to share my positive 5th wheel towing experience with my 2015 6.2l gas f250 with 3.73 gears. We previously towed a Micro Lite 25dks weighing 4800# on the CAT scales. I must admit that I was disappointed in the power of the truck and was very concerned that I would need to swap my...

Well, been pulling successfully for quit a few years with the F150,but always wanted to upgrade. With a trip to Lake placid NY for 10 days next week and then a couple weeks traveling around Lake superior I broke the vault on this beauty. 2017 F250 Super Duty Lariat, 6.7 Turbo Diesel! Cannot wait...

My current TV is a 2017 f150 3.5L Ecoboost with max tow package . I've done everything I can to improve the towing: swapped out the tires, added rear air bags, optimized my WDH configuration and verified it on a CAT scale. However, in windy situations, I still get pushed around more than I would...

PLEASE do not flame me regarding this post. I know I am towing over my max. I’ve been helped with this before, but I am still concerned about my GAWR and would like to have someone who really knows how to figure out how much I am over my limit give me a hand. Been towing in many arduous...
