I currently tow my 260RD with my F250 super cab gas.
F250 has a payload of 3463 lbs
260RD - UVW 7872, GVWR 9995, approx KING PIN weight 1999.
According to my calculations I have approx 665 lbs of payload in hand
So looking at replacing my 260RD with either 295RL or 303RLS
The 295RL - UVW 8992 LBS, GVWR 10995, approx pin weight 2200 lbs
Again my calculations show approx 463 lbs of payload in hand
The 303RLS - UVW 10,000 lbs, GVWR 11995, approx pin weight 2399 lbs
Again my calculations show I have approx 198 lbs of payload in hand.
My calculations include 2 passengers 350 lbs, truck cargo 300 lbs and hitch 215 lbs
So my question is, is my F250 within a safe payload margin of these 2 new 5th wheels I am looking at?
We travel light, so my truck cargo value is probably on the high side, and maybe also the king pin weight.
Opinions welcome. Thanks
