Agree with Rob. Looking on the GD website, the 295RL dry hitch weight is 1434 lbs, with 23% of GVWR > 2500 lbs. For the 303, dry hitch weight is 1835 lbs which already exceeds your available payload capacity of ~1750 lbs. That 1750 lbs does not include the FW hitch, either - unless you added something to the bed to account for it when you went to the scales. Could save some weight with an Andersen or a Goosebox, but regardless of hitch, once you're loaded for camping, you will be over your payload by a fair amount with the 295 and definitely with the 303.

I'm pulling a 337 with a f250 plus 60 gallons of auxiliary fuel, tool box, and two 8 gallons containers of well water. They will lock me up and throw away the key. I am usually air bags.

You might be in the ballpark with a 226RK. I believe they set up some of these 150 series to have a smaller percentage of the GVWR on the pin. Using GD's "dry" numbers, I get about 16.5 % 1190/7204*9995= 1650
Edit: Same calculation on the 295RL yields 1753 lbs. at GVWR. I'd verify this with GD before proceeding.
Good luck!Last edited by Boogiejack75; 06-16-2022 at 11:11 AM.
