None of us have enough information to know what the limiting factor is on these payload numbers. On some trucks it can be power/gearing related, on others it may be braking capacity related, frame strength, axle strength, spring ratings, wheel strength, or tire rating, or it may just be the...

I believe there are two separate 9.75" Axles, a regular semi-floating axle for everything without Max Tow, and then the HD 9.75" axle which is a "3/4 floating" design. I would assume the PB & EB come with the regular semi-floating 9.75" axle unless they have Max Tow, and then they would get the...

We haven’t gotten any hail to my knowledge in Rockwall, but then again I just got home from work. That protector is seriously cool. Hope the rest of your property is fine. Looked small enough to not be too bad, but I’m glad you could protect your shiny new aluminum truck, because that might...

So when you switch to High Beams, It leaves the Low Beams lit, and you can also independently put your fog lights on, regardless of high or low? Does this impact the automatic High Beams?

For F-150 Newbies, what the hell is Bambi?

Thanks for that info. There have been enough people with similar setups that I'm pretty confident I can do what I want, but yeah, a more expensive aluminum trailer is probably going to be the best solution. I feel for all the folks trying to figure out how to pull big campers with their...

That would be a heavy piece of plastic. Of course the good news on that if it is true, is that it is easy to remove. If removing that and say the tailgate gives someone 100 - 150lbs more of easy payload, it might help us stay legal easier while approaching the max tow trailer weights. I keep...

Those things aren't even that expensive. I'd like this sort of protective bubble for parking lot idiots too, I just cannot convince my wife to park way out in the outskirts of a lot and walk a little further to avoid door dings.

That is pretty cool. I would think if you were at home it would be easier to just run an extension chord to a wall plug in your garage, assuming it has both a 12v and 110v power adapter. Away from home just plug it into the 12v or the propower 110v and don't worry about the ICE cycling if it...

What is a hail protector?

Thank you both! And now I understand that the breaker replaced the 12v plug, I guess I was misunderstanding more than I thought.

Just saw this picture in another thread, is the breaker the very small round button in the top right hand corner of the 110V plug?

If someone could post a quick picture of the interior breaker on the dashboard it would be great. I don't think I've seen it in anyone's interior pictures. Is it under the plastic flip cover that covers the 110V outlet on the dash? Thanks!

That is great to see, gives me hope my 600A should be over 1400, so I may be able to get close to the 12,400 max tow with 10% tongue weight and just the driver when I need to pull an enclosed car trailer. I might have a little higher number without the 20" wheels and electronic running boards...

Seems like 305 is a bit large for an 8.5" wide stock wheel? But I would have to look at the particular tire specs to see what recommended wheel widths are listed for the 305. If the tire manufacture says 8.5 is wide enough then its wide enough.
