Camper Package Question...

I have a 2019 F250 6.7 Crew Cab that I pull a Grand Design 312BHTS with a max weight of 11,000. My payload is 2,980. Take off 1,000 for hitch weight, me and family, another 700lbs, so now I'm at 1,280lbs left for cargo or what ever. I didn't get the optional Ultimate Tow Package so I am limited to only 1,500lbs hitch weight, but I never planned on getting anything other than a Travel Trailer. My truck also has the Snow Plow Prep package. You should be fine, but check your stickers!

I don't know if this helps....but...
I don't know if this helps, but .... I went out and took a picture of my door sticker. I have a '19 Lariat super crew F-250 gasser with the camper/snowplow package. I have the short bed though.
Good luck!

Jim, I'll post one when I get a chance, but I will say this. After posting this yesterday I look at the sticker again on my way home and I was wrong. It's like 2,180, NOT 2,980! So, I should only have about 480lbs for cargo. I'm heading out today with the camper, so I'm going to stop at a CAT Scale and weigh it. We'll be fully loaded, so it should be an accurate reading. Sorry again about the misinformation.

The extra sway control of the camper package will help with sway control of the trailer if you have a 5th-wheel or a bumper-pull with a weight-distributing hitch. Higher-rate springs front and rear will help as well, though not as much as getting an F350. If I were doing it, I'd get an F350 for the numbers (that seem to be minimums) that you are talking about.
