Thanks
i went with a 21k Demco Auto Slide. With the auto slide I am hoping to avoid any turning issues. So far I have only pulled it from the dealer I Buffalo back to Philly.

We are looking at a Pinnacle 36FBTS and I think I am going to get a auto slider vs a B&W manual slider too. Thinking Demco 21k like you have...only thing is the weight of it...330+ lbs...ouch.
Why Demco vs the PullRite?

The truck is a F350. The trailer is a Vilano 360RL made by Vanleigh(a Tiffin company). Empty weight is 13,800 And Gvw on trailer is 18k. I haven’t put it on the scales. Standard gvw is 16k but I opted for 8k axles with disc brakes which raised me to 18k

thats a nice rig. I don’t mind the weight. In the winter it gives me weight for the snow and I am on the road all summer so I won’t be taking it out. There seemed to be more height adjustment with the Demco

I wonder what it the scales would read.

It looks a little heavy for a F350 PSD CCSB. Your F350 payload is probably in the 3300 lb range and unloaded published pin weight is 2900 lbs.

My Reflection 337RLS published pin weight is 2200 lbs. But lightly loaded for travel it gained 700 lbs to 2900 lbs.Then if you add 50 lbs for lightweight Andersen hitch, 500 lbs for Pilot, passenger, dog.,stuff and 75 lbs for bedcover and I'm right at my 3523 lbs of payload.

Right there with you, I'm at just over 3500 payload myself too...just me and the wife and we travel light....very light. Have a Cougar X-Lite now but looking at a Pinnacle...about 2700 hitch weight empty, that will load down the new F350...Make it work!!!
