In an effort to help Dan (NorCalDan) get information as to how big of a truck he needs to pull a camper (and to help others as well), I am asking the following question:
For those of you with Ford F350's and F450's, could you give us an idea of what your particular truck weighs when fully loaded? We are interested in ACTUAL GVWR ratings.
Since one does not want to put too much trust in information in brochures (and especially from salesmen), your answers would be greatly appreciated.
It is not necessary that we know the passenger weights because everyone interested can simply add in their own weights. However, if you have tools or other items in your truck, an approximate weight for the extra items would be helpful.
Dan has posted questions in a topic entitled "How Much Truck Would I Need".
Thanks to all.
