We got a Centerline TS WDH. We were going to do the Equalizer but after looking at them they were essentially the same design and I liked the little pegs on the Centerline that held the bars in...

It's funny you say that. As we're signing the contract the guy's father comes over (family business) and says, "Hey, go show them that Puma 5th wheel out there! With that F250 he can pull that and...

Well it looks like we're going to go with the 287. We got a F250 so towing should be handled and I think we'll appreciate the extra space, especially as the kids get older. We are most likely going...

If I'm reading this right, GCWR is 23,500 for 3.31 and 3.55. Towing capacity is 14,000 for both as well. There is a negligible price difference between the two ratios...about $125 I think. ...

Actually tow rating doesn't change between 3.31 and 3.55, which surprised me because it did change when I was looking at the half ton. The trailer I'm looking at has a GVWR of 7500 so I think i'd be...

Alrighty...choice made. I'm going with the 6.7L Diesel F250. I've already worked out my deal and now I'm just deciding between the 3.55 or 3.31 axle ratio. I'll probably go with 3.31 because this...

Well I saw the F250 last night. That's a big freaking truck! I was fine with the interior (Lariat trim) but driving the gas version sucked. Very boring. No pickup or acceleration and a ton of...

Yeah I've paid my fair share of stupid tax in the past. Hoping to avoid it on a purchase of this magnitude. I think I see a F250 in my future, but we'll see how I feel after I see it tonight.

My other issue is we were going to be getting the F150 and I think it will tow the 264 just fine but I have qualms about pulling the 287 with that. I've got another thread in the towing forum...

Yeah...we are coming from a pop up and are the same way...the only time we were in the trailer was cooking or sleeping. Anything we get will be way nicer than what we have now. The only reason I'm...

Based on your suggestion, I asked the dealer about adding the max payload option. I would need to make a few other changes to make it compatible which would end up costing me another $3000 to do...

Thank you all for your insightful comments and experience. I'm so torn...I told the dealer to hold off on the F150 order and now I'm looking at the F250. It doesn't have all the fancy bells and...

Payload capacity with all of my options will be 1751 lbs. I'm doing the half ton because of budget concerns but I want to make sure what I get will handle what I'm trying to pull. We're leaning...

Thanks. I have a F150 with max trailer tow package which gives me 11,500 tow capacity on paper but I did not think about the payload capacity. I'll have to look into that.

For the prices I...

264BHW or 287BHSW...what to choose...what to choose?

I'm going to be getting a new TT in the next week and I'm trying to decide between the 264BHW and the 287BHSW. We like the 287's layout and extra space a lot but we're trying to decide if it's worth...

F150 and 287BHSW TT. Am I OK?

I've learned a lot from you guys and I think I'm good to go, but I've also learned that tow capacity isn't everything, so I wanted to get your thoughts. I just ordered a F150 with the 3.5L Ecoboost...
