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 trim, diesel - payload as per sticker - 1300lbs
future camper + gear + bikes + passengers = 2500lbs (max)
GVWR - 7100lbs
i figure upgrading HD leaf springs, timbrem bumpstops, and E rated tires my help. Anything else?
aside from upgrading to 3/4 (currently exploring those options), am i still fighting a losing battle here if i keep my f150 and spend $5K (estimate) on upgrades?
thanks everyone!
