This is great info. My only challenge is determining how I can order an F350 and make sure I get the options I want without using up all the payload I need. I can't tell you the difference between the camper package and the tow package. How much does the CC weigh? What if I wanted 20" tires. What impact does that do to the payload? etc..
I wish there was a database on what every option weighs so I could determine how each option affects the payload.Jim & Kate

Howard,
This worksheet is excellent information for purchasing a truck with the known weights of a trailer and known truck loading information. For those folks that already have a truck and want to purchase the largest trailer a truck can handle?
1) Use the GVWR of the trailer since this number is constant on the particular model. Unloaded (UVW) weights and unloaded tongue weights are unreliable and variable even on the same model.
2) Use 15% of the travel trailers GVWR to calculate a heavily loaded tongue weight. Maximum tongue weight will be at the limit of the weight distribution hitch.
3) Use 25% of the 5th wheel GVWR to calculate a loaded pin weight. Maximum pin weight will be at the limit on the fifth wheel hitch.
