Thank you so much, @daemonic3 ! Really appreciate it. This gets me off to a good start.

@daemonic3 - We are buying our first truck and camper. So, I copied your response with the helpful picture in my knowledge base for good practices. I do have a follow up, which might be dumb but we do not have either the truck or the trailer as yet - Whey you say that you test the pinch brakes...

Thanks a lot! Do you have an idea what difference between the two is?

Thank you very much! That is very good to know. I am not sure if our camper's power chord will be located so that it can charged securely, but it'd be great to have that option.

Thank you! I will google that and see where I get.

Thank you for clarifying. I did not know that the 7 pin connector also charges the batteries - albeit at a reduced rate....

I am sorry if this is a dumb question, but we plan to tow a camping trailer with our F150 PB with 7.2kW generator. Can it charge the camper batteries while we are driving? Or, does it need to be stationary? I would appreciate any clarifications, pluses and minuses. Thank you!

@padeldude - Thank you so much!

I have a 1/2” breaker bar and torque wrench for my camping trailer. Want to make sure I have the socket that fits the lug nuts in the truck. What is the lug nut size for the 2021 F150?

@Norris McCarty - I have an open ticket with B&W and am getting direct info.... What I heard was: ... I talked with my engineers on this and they are actively working on hitch fitment for both the gooseneck application and the industry standard rails that you are looking for. I was given an...

I do not have any personal experience. In fact, Norris is the first, though very experienced, voice I have heard cautioning about F150 and (small trailer) fifth wheel towing. We are buying an Escape trailer and I have got feedback from the owners. They all say that the towing characteristics of...

Thank you! That would be very helpful indeed. I believe the underbody changes in 2021 F150 have required some adjustments from all the manufacturers.

A quick update from B&W - They expect the rail and gooseneck figments to be ready in March - likely mid to late March. They are very responsive and make a very good impression of their company.

No worries! I welcome a conversation with someone who has your level of experience. I know very little in comparison - but have tried really hard to research our decisions. I would love to share what we are trying to do and thinking that got us to this point... It'd be off-topic for this...

Very good. It is a very experienced point of view and worth sharing. Would you mind creating a new thread saying that. This topic of this thread seems to be fifth wheel hitch fitment, and your point is off topic. PS: Since it is buyer's $$$$ - even the lightly informed ones would presumably...

@NoI'mmad - Exactly. I simply do not understand why people respond to a very clear and focused topic such as this to dispense advice which includes generalizations that do fit everyone. Yes, I have a fifth wheel with a dry weight of 3600 lbs and a fully loaded weight rating below 5500 lbs. I...

If someone does not want the yaw sensor - replace E with F at the end... That gets you TPMS and camera. Also, I see several discount sites selling for $200+ less amount. Any downside to that?

Paul, First, the F150 EcoBoost WITH 7.2 kw power on board option does not exist. 7.2kW option only exists with PowerBoost engine. Second, all versions of 2021 F150 seem to require an update in 5th wheel hitches, not just PB. That's not completely unheard of after a major update. Third, yes -...

I agree. The comment was both incorrect and irrelevant for this topic. Everyone needs to know (or do their best to estimate) the payload and GVWR of the truck they are buying is, and assess how much payload their towing scenario requires and do their own math. The generalized statements don't...

With respect, there are plenty of threads discussing PB and payload. This thread is focusing on the availability of the fifth wheel hitch figment for PB and otherwise for 2021 F150. At this stage, the buyers are fairly well informed about what the payload of the truck will look like and can make...
