I really like the integrated bed scale, it's great information to have 'before' you hit the road. The rear pinstripe is cool and all but I prefer a cleaner, uninterrupted look on the rear flare.

The technology and ability to have a trailer library is just awesome. Get your preferences set, the light test is great (especially if you are working solo). Having the odometer is great-can help give a real world estimate of how far the trailer has travelled and when maintenance is needed.

Very nice truck! One of the big upgrades we did for our F-350 SRW was to change the OEM fuel tank with a nearly 70-gallon tank. It fits in the same space as the OEM tank. We also installed an air compressor inside the frame, located under the right passenger seat. We pull a 38 ft 5er.

Nice looking truck and trailer. 11:46. Things I’ve learned on my 24 F350 platinum- That is a whole truck scale, not just a bed scale. The 150 is just an average driver weight ford puts in there that can be changed (not sure where they get that from, I’m way over😂). Above the payload number up there, if you tap the 3 bars, you can change it to an actual scale if you need to and it is surprisingly accurate. Hopefully that helps you with that feature.

Hey JD, I hope you're having a great day! I really like everything that your new F450 gives you and all the different things that you can do when you hitch up your fifth wheel. The scale that you have in the bed of your truck is great an the check list that you have on the infotainment screen is spot on . I figured the back end of your truck would have been Squatted alittle bit but you can't even tell that you have weight in the bed of your truck. Have a super great trip and be safe my friend! Happy 4TH of JULY JD!!!! Your number one fan an friend Leonard from North Carolina.

Nice looking set up. The in-bed scale is great, but in all reality, unless you tow a lot of different trailers, it only comes in handy for the first few tows if your trailer or set up hardly changes. But, more info is always better. Thanks for sharing.

@treecatt 2 күн бұрын

I recently replaced m 2018 F250 Lariat with a 2024 F350 Lariat to haul my Alliance Paradigm 310RL. There is a CAT scale near me so taking it in initially to get weights wasn't that big a hassle. The in-bed scale is convenient but not a necessity in my opinion. Once my trailer was setup (i.e. loaded with the usual day to day stuff) I don't expect the weight to change significantly between trips.

@jetdriver 2 күн бұрын

So if you actual pin weight is 3600lbs and the top of scale on that in cab display is 4941 lbs it’s waaaaay off. You should be roughly 3/4 of the maximum load but that gauge looks more like 90%. If the tech isn’t accurate it isn’t going to be useful. On the plus side it looks great and I love that it didn’t seem to squat at all. I’ll bet it’s a dream to tow.

@echayes369 2 күн бұрын

If the bed scales don’t give you the amount of weight you just added when you put the weight of the trailer on the ball it just gives you the lights and bar graph, what is the point? Still a guessing game.

@MSparks9509 2 күн бұрын

If you took the 5” offset ball out it would show less weight on the truck scale. Looks like you have plenty of room to tow the trailer with the factory gooseneck ball location & 8’ bed

@motostradacompanhia6293 2 күн бұрын

I think it's really cool to tow these huge trailers, real houses on wheels, and it's even cooler that your government encourages caravanning and its roads and streets are well structured to receive them, here in Brazil it's the opposite, most cities don't allow it. At your entrance, most campsites cannot support a trailer of this size, and the Winnebago and Jayco are often sold here but only in small sizes, entering urban centers with a trailer of this size is an impossible task, narrow streets and signage downtown we are trying to change the laws to encourage caravanning here, I hope that in the future it will be different, hugs

first thing I noticed when I dropped my gate, was that camera really doesn't help for trailering. Like you said the perspective is a bit off to use in close proximity. I also had a hard time just backing up across the yard using the top gate camera, vs the normal tailgate camera, definitely learning curve.

You have a nice set up! How do you like your Brookstone? We looked at a Chaparral 336 FL when we bought our East to West 5th wheel. We also looked at a Brookstone, but it was too heavy for my Ram 2500. I have now upgraded into a Ram 3500 dually, so the discussion has shifted to what is the next RV for us. Again, beautiful rig.

I hope its the lighting because the rear wheel arches look a shade brighter than the bed and the pinstripe amplifies it. really noticeable at 21 19. edit, the longer i look at 20 19, the whole truck looks two tones of white, weird.

@Scout819 2 күн бұрын

I'll admit I agree the tailgate camera and sensors don't seem very useful. Feels almost like more of "Hey look what my truck can do" sort of feature. Funny enough, I can't remember if your truck has them, but when they first came out, I heard a lot of people say the same about the Max Recline seats. Neat, but not very comfortable/practical(since you had to get out of the truck, and lift the rear seats).

You've probably talked about it before, but what's the advantage of a gooseneck ball versus a 5th wheel style hitch? I know the ball can be flipped or removed more easily than the full 5th wheel hitch but is there another advantage with towing, maneuvering, etc?

Over the years I think I have seen you taking the 5th wheel maybe 3x on short trips. I would absolutely Not change the mattress to save 50lb. Get a cargo box on the rear bumper/hitch of the 5th wheel and load it with the tools out of the truck and whatever else. That will make the nose lighter without changing the mattress.

@BigTruckBigRV 2 күн бұрын

It shouldn't. The scale is actually for the entire trucks payload.

@micheleobrien64 2 күн бұрын

I think the bed scale is smart. To wiegh at a scale station that means towing it there, then if its too heavy you still have to tow it home to unpack some. Thats dangerous and damages your vehicle and rig. Know before you tow!❤❤❤❤❤
