Hi, new member here, first time posting.
I have my current rig up for sale and hope to be moving into something different in a couple of months. Currently at the top of my list is a flatbed Hawk on a Ford Powerstroke F350.
My question is about towing. I will be towing a 23 foot Airstream, hitch weight is 900 and GVWR is 6000. Hawk is probably around 1550 wet so a total weight of about 2200 if you include hitch weight.
I will probably go stage 3 Icon on the suspension with a small 3 inch lift and 35 inch tires.
So far so good. My concern is that the back part of the Hawk extends over the flatbeds hitch receiver.
I have done a few searches but have not come across anyone with a similar setup.
I saw the flatbed Alaskan at the Overland Expo and really love that camper but the weight and additional cost could be an issue for me. But the back of the Alaskan is flat and there would not be any issues accessing the hitch receiver.
Any thoughts or advice welcome!!
