eagle HT 30ckts real pin weight

[homer1959]

Any owners of this HT eagle fifth wheel willing to share the real life pin weight of his trailer ? Not the dry weight, not what you think it is, not that an f150 shouldnt pull it ... thanks guys :-)

The problem with using someone else's numbers is not everyone loads and travels (people, firewood, etc.) the same. I know you don't want this, but I would go with 20% of 11,000 GVWR which is 2200 pin weight. Add hitch, firewood, and passengers to the truck and you're over 2500 lbs. of cargo.

My advice is skip the F250, spend ~$500 more for F350 SRW, and enjoy 2 tons of cargo capacity!

Maybe go 3/4 or 1 ton, that F150 twin turbo is probably nearly the same price.Meet a guy in a camp ground 1 ton long bed dodge $38000 out the door.It was I think a 2017, discounted 15k off MSRP! Thanks
