9,000lbs of materials and 7,000lbs of tools and tractor. Right at 32,000 lbs total.

With the limited sticker capacity of the F-250, you better watch the payload with that mixer sitting so far forward. (Said all the F-350 guys to the F-250 guys.)
 
^ ^ ^ Nice load. What kinda tongue weight is that?

I chose to run FullTravelBags rather than a WDH for the +/- 800 lbs bumper receiver hitch tongue weight, seen here. I run 30 psi in them when towing, but without them this trailer's tongue weight drops the rear of my truck almost 4"!, so... glad I went through the relative agony of installing them. :p

^ ^ ^ That's a new 19.6 w/ a GVWR of 6600 (6598) lbs. I have yet to drag it very far off pavement, since it sits in an RV HOA in southern Utah and was just dragged a few hours east to the Moab get together last weekend where it sat 100 yards off pavement in the Moab RV & Glamping Park while I went wheelin' w/ some of the boys here.

You got yours a little muddy! Which model is it? How do you like it?

No idea. I do have a reverse level with air bags. I still need to complete my onboard air system but I believe I had about 40-50 psi in that picture.
 
Remember when your truck used to be Velocity Blue?
Of course. My old '21. That color was just wow.

The '23 is just a better truck. I remember when they changed the body style there was such outrage. I wonder if people still feel that way.

That's strange you get 4" of squat with that little tongue weight. My truck squats down to just about level with the 1600# pin weight of my 5th wheel. About 2.5".

Same with my old TT that was about 1000# on the ball.

It is, isn't it. I was disappointed. Kinda the reason I went F350 rather than F250 before I knew how the Tremor Package sort of equalized the two platforms.

I see the difference you cite as the effect of the leverage of the receiver hitch being so much distance behind the rear axle whereas your fifth wheel load bearing is on top of the axle and just slightly ahead of it (an inch? or so). That's a big deal right there.

Cheers!
 
About the same either way.... ive put a bubble level on the bed rail of each...the TT is without a WDH being used.
