While I'm torn on which interior is best; I've always maintained if someone would marry a Cummings and an Allison it would be a hell of a truck.

Hey guys
Follow you on you tube. I work for a freightliner dealership. They are everywhere. As far as repair cost, it is an hourly rate from $115-150 an hour. It is comparable to any repair shop from a dealer. Here is a link http://www.freightlinersprinterusa.c.../find-a-dealer I moved from cali to tampa, and we are a sprinter dealership, matter of fact, #1 in the country, according to my sales team.

I have a T350 long WB, med. roof, wd hitch & Quigley conv. In past I have used a 95 F250, and a full size Bronco. My new TV. is quite simply a dream to tow with. In the past 3 months I have towed my 2016 FC bunk over 9000 miles. These miles were all over the country, I drove to Boise, and drove my AS back to Pa, loved its potent manners, Then with a 400lb moto. on back bumper. I drove round trip to Desert Trip near Palm Springs, Ca. on the return trip we had another couple join us as far as Albuquerque, NM. The TV. was masterful, I used the 4x4 once to get up a steep incline, dirt road once again the T350 was a champ. I can not tell you how much I love this combo and the T350.

I have the 3.5 ecoboost with tow package and blue ox wd hitch. the moto. was on the AS back bumper. The T350 has one 3 place back seat installed and carried a large generator as well as a large 10 ton jack.

What size/weight is your 2016 Flying Cloud? Got any pics of your moto carrier?

c-more · 11-04-2016, 09:35 AM

It's a 30' FC I was told that it is 6500lbs WET, and @5500 DRY, the dealer said its hard to reach the quoted wet weight. All together the overall length is about 50'. I am not computer literate so the Photos will not be forth coming, my apology.

According to the sticker on my 2014 FC 30' Bunk the dry weight is 6569 lbs (with awning package) and the max weight is 8800 lbs. You should have a sticker on yours as well.

My guess is that your trailer is very similar to mine, probably 6500 dry and 7500 lbs wet.

I would imagine the bunkhouse weighs more than the regular 30, but who knows. My 2010 FC30 weighs 6500 lbs empty (weighed on a scale). Add 54 gal of fresh (at 8.3 lbs) = a total of 7000 lbs with just water. Then add 500-1000 lbs of stuff and you're close to 7500-8000 lbs.

Those ecoboost motors are awesome. I'm surprised you're able to tow so much weight so easily, that's great news.

My weights are actual sticker weights, so yea it weighs a bit more yours. But not much. c-more said he had a 2016 bunk. I'm sure it weighs no less than my 2014.

I think 7500-8000 lbs is a good assumption for a moderately loaded 30' trailer.

I knew from all the research before I committed to buy that the weight was listed as 6500, it did surprise me when at the inspection they told me 5500 dry. I can attest that whatever it weighs the transit-350 does an exemplary job towing.

If you have access to your trailer now you can easily check. There will be a weight sticker. Mine is on the exterior street side near the front of the trailer. Just behind the stainless steel rock guard.
