Haha. Wow. I didn't even notice how weird that picture was until you guys said something. That guy leaning weird is the dude I bought the trailer from. I was still checking it out in that picture. That's always gonna bug me now. Haha.

We just bought our first travel trailer, a 2011 heartland 26'. One slideout, it weights 6500 dry, with a rated GVW of 10400. I figure it's around 8000 the way I tow it, which was too much for my '07 F150. I bought a 2011 F250 6.2l two weeks ago, problem solved.

Normal cruising speed is at 74mph.

the traffic ticket is not the concern, it's the fact that you have your wife and kids with you when traveling at that velocity. a blowout at 85mph or an avoidance maneuver would be the concern with kids in the vehicle, that is it, just remember you have some precious cargo with you.

Happy traveling!

I love that old silver camper. I'd love to find a pretty decent one on the cheap, to fix up for my wife and myself.
