Roadtripper intro

[Roadtripper]

I purchased my 2022 Ford F250 6.7L Diesel Tremor a few years ago. It's my daily driver but I also use it to pull a 34' travel trailer. I'm thinking about trading that trailer in for a fifth wheel travel trailer. We love the adventures of road travel and camping sites. I join this forum to gain knowledge of the best uses of my Tremor. I hope to hear the experiences of a Tremor owners pulling a larger fifth wheel. I also would like to know length and weight that they pull.

Welcome. With a 250, you're going to be limited on your pin weight. Don't let a dealership talk you into buying something that your truck can't legally pull. Happy shopping..

What 5th wheel are you towing?

I have a F350 with the 6.7, payload capacity of 3,354. I am looking at my first trailer, was looking at the Alliance Paradigm line and the Grand Design Solitudes, then I found out that the stated hitch weights are for dry empty trailers, so the majority of those went out the window. I was...

In California, having lived there 52 years and being in trucking most of my life, I'm not 100% positive but I believe that as long as the first trailer is a fifth wheel and or gooseneck then you could pull a bumper pull off of that if the first trailer is set up and rated for that. Length laws come into effect and I believe that you have to be under, it's either 65 or 75 ft total and neither trailer can be longer than 28 ft. Interested to find out if someone else has more information on this. You just don't see it in California. Not common there. I see it somewhat frequently in Missouri and in surrounding states when I'm traveling around. Curious to see what others have to say.

I just googled this and this is a screenshot of what it says. Whether AI knows what it's talking about or not, it sort of confirms my suspicions.

Welcome! Your truck is plenty capable for 90% of the fifth wheel campers on the market. Just pay attention to your weight distribution when loading her up.
