Hey Roger - i'm relative new to this forum as well AND i'm also in the same situation as you. I have a 2019 F150 crewcab with 6.5 bed and my GVWR is 7100. I took my truck to a CAT scale with the heavy tailgate off and it weighs 5680lbs. (full tank of gas). So as you can see, without any...

Hi there.. i'm in a similar setup as you. I have a 2019 F150 diesel crew and after my calculations (weighed my truck at a CAT scale, figured out my weight) , i'll be over my GVWR by 1100lbs. I haven't done any mods to the truck and i'm debating about keeping the 1/2 ton or upgrade to 3/4...

so i got my truck on a CAT scale. steer axle - 3400lbs drive axle - 2280lbs Gross Weight - 5680lbs. (remove the tailgate as well). So if my truck is 7100 GVWR and my truck is currently at 5680lbs. I'm definitely going to be over the GVWR (carrying a full load). However, i won't be over the...

i was led to believe that air bags have a tendency to tear.

i have the 6.5, so i believe the center of gravity will be slight towards the "front" of the rear axle. The trucks that i've own has never hit or past the GVWR, so i can't honestly know what it feels like.

Hi Vic - i'm also from Calgary. Hwy 40 forestry roads, waiporous, beehive area, etc is where i plan to camp mostly. All dirt roads as you know. I may just have to tolerate the rough ride when the camper is not on. I drive a lot to bragg creek to bike and my odd trips to Edmonton and Canmore

when you say drive slower - do you mean 5 to 10km/hr than the posted speed limited? when you had your F150 - what mods did you do? and how close were you to your GWVR?

thanks for the replies everyone, this is great info. Since i'm new to all this, it hard for me to make the right decision. - the camper won't be on full time. (weekends only) - my f150 is my daily driver - i'll spend most of my time on forestry roads, crown camping. - no serious 4x4. do...

I'm beginning to learn the GVWR what matters the most. i'm going to get my truck weighed and see what the curb weight is. From there, i guess i can understand how much i can carry. and i forgot about the tailgate. It's got that chrome trim and step option. That's a 100lbs there!

i'm fairly new to the truck camper and been doing a lot of reading on payload and such. From what i gather, it would appear some are just below the payload capacity . Any 1/2 ton owners with slide in (FWC, alasken, scout, etc) running way over their capacity? my setup: 2019 f150 platinum...

my post keeps getting deleted? why?? anyways, F150 diesel have low payload and curious to know if you went over your payload and by how much. I enjoy my f150 diesel and would like to see if a truck camper will work knowing that i'll be going over my payload significantly. thanks in advance
