Oh, my bad. I was thinking srw and F-250. Obviously not the case but still a good srw load.
Great looking truck. Wow!

Edit... I'd look at you max towing capacity because I believe your truck to be around 16,000 lbs, plus or minus. Hence why so many that big, tow with drw. I'd review your unladen trailer weight and know what weight you'll be hauling to gauge your total pkg. Once loaded, not a bad idea to hit the scales to verify.

Here's a note I used in one of my threads a few years back to help figure my load.

"See the "new guy" below. I like the 32' length as it's not too long, yet with triples, allows for added safety. It's an all aluminum frame with only 9900 UVW (unloaded veh wt). I does have a 15,500 GVWR with approx 5,600# in available load capacity, although I can't imagine ever using all of that. I does require a non-commercial A license here in Cal. being over 15k, but we've already got that.

The truck GCWR is 23,000 and it weighs approx 8,800 so with the max wt of 15,500 trailer, I have an available -1,300 to haul. What it really means is that I need to haul less than 14,200 max including trailer and truck. No way I'll pull 4,300#'s in added weight when hauling just motorcycles."

Tow rating for that 5th wheel is 21,600

Alright, I take everything back I said. That's amazing! I looked at the 2012 ratings and couldn't find those new ratings quickly.

What a rig and trailer set up.

Thanks r2, I didn't want to have to go drw because I like off-roading way too much! Not that you can't wheel in a dualy but it's just more balanced of a rig being swb srw I plan to find some F- g rated off road worthy tires maybe 37s or so with a nice Carli lift and kings and bags!

Whart a nice looking rig you have. It looks like time for some serious off roading in it's near future.
Once you get the bugs out, maybe we'll have to connect someplace near Lucerne Vally or Red Mountain area?l
Lots of places to go.

Yes it will see some definatly in the future , and yes being in Cali we got lots of places to go , let me know where the next trip is and I'll see if I an make it. I would like to get some quads too so the beast isn't doing all the fun it will still have to get us home . I'll be in the market for a nice set of his and hers banshees . Or maybe a raptor for her since it has reverse. We'll see ... Hey he more weight back there the better my pin weight will actually drop

Great pics. Loved my catamaran years ago down on Mission Bay.
You're out of control!
Living the good life.
Envious as heck, however, now out of the hospital and on my way to freedom.
Won't be long before I'm hooking up our rig and just getting away too.
Thanks for sharing.

Nice looking rig. How is the Winnebago holding out? Any problems with it? We have a 2016 Winnebago 36RL that we bought at the beginning of August 2017 so have only used it for a month and a half as here in Canada it does get cold. We're waiting for spring to arrive (late this year with snow still on the ground) so that we can get to using it once again.
