Our 2008 F250 has given us perfect service with our 27 FB SE for almost 8000 miles of towing this year. Never a concern about overloading, sway or power. I am not too happy about the harshness of the ride with no load, so going to a F350 would seem like overkill (I am looking to replace the tires with less harsh Michelins). We do carry about 400 pounds of stuff in the back of the truck for our trips and we do have the crew cab.

If you want to go all the way with the TV, why not go all the way with the TT (get a bigger Airstream)? Both have an associated increase in cost; come on now, wouldn't you like to have a bigger Airstream?

I had separation issues when I purchased my rig.

Once repaired, I added the ClassV AirSafe hitch along with Centermatic wheel balancers.

I do keep the rear TV tires at around 65lbs.

Put 40,ooo miles in the separation repair without the slightest hint of a occurrence.
