The Bighorn is a 2017 3760EL. Got rid of a 3160EL and a 2015 Chevy 3500. Love the F350, so much better towing. But it helps trading when your son in law is the GM at a Ford dealership.

And thanks. We get many people comment on our truck. Even had a service rep at the GM dealer where we bought the Bighorn say how nice it was when we picked the trailer up.

Agree with the truck, we have a 2017 F350 Super cab dually, so just a little shorter back seat. Now if we could just make our minds up regarding which 5er to buy.

I/We love our Bighorn. This floor plan gives us a king size bed with a nightstand. Some of the improvements and options we added make set up and take down much easier for us. When we are in the fifth wheel, I have talked the adult kids into thinking we don't have cell or internet service, but the grandkids know different.

Well then you need to check Monty's Montana mayhem thread with all the factory blunders & poor customer relations

Roy do you remember where that thread is ????

I'll add what I can as well. Unfortunately I don't have many photos of the 5er. The first photo was on our shake-down run after delivery. The second just shows them together at the storage unit. She is a little nose-high now while I contemplate what I want to do (if anything) to address it.

Whoops. I actually meant to refer to the trailer as being nose high. The truck is pretty close to level when loaded.

Dang. I feel for him. I'll have to do some more research, thought we had pretty well decided what we wanted. Thanks for posting.

True, I was within weeks of ordering a 380...

and wrote several letters to Keystone.. before and after I followed his thread.

They make a good product.. .as long as it was BUILT correctly.. if not could take a YEAR for them to "Patch" it together.. then dump you.

I tend to "Find" receive that type..
Chevy did me good, as did Honda,, Dodge did not.

How is your "LUCK". good warranty is needed.

Here's my 97 F250HD 7.3 auto and our keystone raptor 300MP toy hauler. The truck was completely stock when this photo was taken about 5 years ago. Since then she's gotten a set of baby swamps, TS chip custom programmed by swamps diesel, banks aftercooler, Precision industries torque converter, irate diesel bellowed up pipes, air bags in the rear and heavier springs upfront. Next upgrade will happen next weekend... Pulling out the ttb front end and putting in a dana 60. 😁
