Hummm. The truck in my signature..from the door sticker GVWR 13K.From the Ford spec' sheet.GCWR 23,500..We are far under that
5th wheel tow rating//15,200K (DRW 4X4)..we are well under that. cargo capacity 4268 (from the door plate)...06 3400GVWR 14K X 20%=2800lbs..pin weight, We know the truck weighs 8710 with full fuel and hitch ..Add two folks and 1 bird @ 300lbs..add assorted camping stuff in bed 150lbs, add pin weight 2800lbs? =11960..make it a even 12K and we are under everything...I think..

Have not pulled any really steep hills yet.
I have no idea what a "safe distance" is with the 3400 anchor behind me. I am told it is 4 times the stopping distance of the truck alone but I have no idea what that is.
We are level..for sure..
