kenneths Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I have a 2022 F350 DRW on order. I have always had F250's or Chevy 2500's before. I pull a 43' 5th wheel and have always needed airbags on my trucks to keep from squatting. Will I need to add them on the new truck? The pin weight of my 5th wheel is around 3,500, does anyone here tow something similar with an F350 DRW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick johnson nm Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I have a 5000# truck camper in my 2019 F350 and it squats about 1 1/2". I have the 14000# package. In this long bed, crew cab, dually truck, I simply don't notice the difference while driving vs empty bed. Rick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers09 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I tow a 41' 5'er with GVW about 16,500 lbs and pin weight of 4,000 lbs. Towed it with a 2016 F-350 DRW 6.7 and never found a need for air bgs. With the 2013 F-350 SRW, with reduced GVW and pin weight of 3,000 lbs, I had to install air bags.

With all of the things I have in my front compartment I may be well over 4,000#. Guess I will wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, you are probably close to my pin weight. Guess I will just wait and see when it gets here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tow my camper less than 2,500 miles a year so it is kind of hard to justify the additional cost of a diesel when I average 45,000 miles a year on the truck not towing.
