So I’ve found a 2018 F350 very similar to yours. It has a CC of 3417. What is your opinion, any problems, safety issues...? The Anderson Ultimate is 35 pounds, the wife and I are 380 and if I use your 2800#, still puts me less than 3417. This particular vehicle doesn’t have the 5th wheel hitch prep, so an additional computation will be required.
Thanks,
Tony

After seeing this image and thinking to myself the tires are taking all that force. I could be wrong.
I pull a 6k landscape trailer around town daily and tight turns that put the trailer suspension into similar conditions as the image above are required to maneuver tight city streets and cul-da-sacs.
Last year, first time in 22 years, I broke my very first stub axle. I have no idea when it happened but fairly sure it was in an area of road construction that required many tight turns just prior to pulling over for a quick stop at a shopping center. I didn't know the rear tire was missing until I stopped at a shopping center and was walking back to my truck and trailer and noticed the following.
Please don't make it a habit of making those tight of turns or you could be in for a set of these.
The above image is a standard 3500# axle and 10" electric brake kit, I replaced the equalizer and all shackle straps at the same time since I was this far into the suspension. Total cost of parts above, $350, about three hours of my labor and a welding machine was required to make the repairs. I would assume a 5k axle setup would be more expensive to replace.

Not a problem without the OEM 5th wheel hitch. Just have the Trailer dealer install a B&W 5th kit. https://www.etrailer.com/g-2018_Ford...Rail+Kit&furl= They install these all the time..

You should be fine with that truck with an Andersen hitch and a Reflection 337. . Not a problem without the OEM 5th wheel hitch. Just have the Trailer dealer install a B&W 5th kit. https://www.etrailer.com/g-2018_Ford...Rail+Kit&furl= They install these all the time.
My 2800#s pin weight is with lots of stuff loaded in the trailer pass through storage.
If you are buying a new Ford make sure you take advantage of the $3000 PCO.

This may have been answered already, but what is PCO and how does one take advantage of it? Does it apply if I am purchasing the vehicle in the Ford D plan? (from what I understand D plan pricing already has the greatest discount available) Placing 2019 f350 order this week. Thanks!
