NEw to Grand Design & Camping

[cdaranga]

Hello everyone,

Looks like we went with "go big or go home". We just purchased a 2019 Imagine 3170BH. Towing with 2018 F150 4WD crew cab 3.5 ecoboost. We are very excited about going camping with our new toy.

Thank you for all the info you have posted here,

Can you tell me how the towing experience has been with the F150. I too have a 2018 F150 with the 3.5 ecoboost and max tow package. The max payload on the door jamb says 1745 lbs. The truck has the 6.5 ft bed and is a super crew (157" wheelbase). The tow ratings show I can tow 13,000 lbs. Gear ratio is 3.55, transmission is Aisin 10 speed. The hitch stamp say the weight distributed max gross trailer weight is 13,200 and max tongue is 1320 lbs. I would like to think I am on the verge of buying the 315RLTS (price already negotiated with dealer) this is the last step. Of course I plan on using the correct weight distribution hitch / anti sway set up...possibly add air bags as well to keep it really level. I know its a big rig to tow. Your insights are really appreciated
