Ok, I'm not trying to start something, just getting a sanity check. I'm about to sell my bumper pull TT and buying something that fits my wife and me better. The camper dealer swears my f150 ecoboost will tow this 5th wheel we fell in love with. 8000 lbs dry and 1340 hitch. Problem is I'm an engineer and too anal to take his word. I told them i didn't believe it. He sent me to a ford dealer, who coincidentally is owned by the same company, to find a nice f250 for us. That salesman swears the ecoboost will pull the 5th wheel. He's not trying to sell me a new TV. Interesting and appears he's honest but misinformed. He took my vin number and researched the f150. He swears mine is capable of 9400lbs towing, which I can believe, and 2400lbs cargo, which I don't. He says the 1136 max weight on the door sticker is occupants only and the bed will handle an additional 2400lbs. I told him to get a second opinion. He asked his truck manager and fleet manager and they agree with him. I haven't changed my opinion. Please tell me I'm correct in doubting him. As much as I love the 5th wheel I don't want to go into debt right now to buy a new camper and an f250. Convince me I'm wrong. Oh, my TV has the 3.55 gear ratio and does not have the max tow.
