The payload question is definitely where all should be looking.

Regardless of opinions on 1/2 or 3/4, payload is the magic number. I also agree that if you have to "modify" your truck by adding...

Not sure about other brands/tires, but have had the Cooper AT3 XLT for a week. They ride as good as OE Michelin's and look awesome. Installer put front at 65/rear at 70.

I dunno - my china-bombs are 5 years old and look new. No cracks or blemishes. May replace next year due to age.

I'm due for shoes, and have decided on the AT3 XLT. Are you happy with them?

I'm going with 275/70's (E). I would expect them to be around 80PSI like my current Michelins.

Good deal. Looks like an Equalizer. I followed instructions and setup was perfect.

I pulled my Zinger 32QB with a Sierra 1500. I'll be honest, it did well but if you plan on doing long trips, the...

I have an Equalizer. Love it.

We previously had a Eaz-Lift round bar with the separate sway bar. I think the Equalizer does a much better job (on a much larger trailer, too).

I was looking at a silver F250, but really love my Chevys. The blue oval "almost" had me!

Being a 2015, I would expect you have an Atwood water heater - plastic plug. No anode rod required. My 2011 and 2014 both have Atwoods.

It's "Tungsten Metallic", which is grey with a hint of purple. I traded my leased 2015 Sierra 1500 for the Silverado. Only thing I miss is the slightly better gas mileage!

I looked up your trailer. About same weight as my Zinger. I have the 1200# Equalizer and it works GREAT.

I'll chime in (late to the party...I know)

You won't regret the F-250 choice. We have a Zinger 32QB, and while my 2015 Sierra 1500 towed it very well, you could tell we were close to the limit.

I also have Equalizer.

Just follow instructions when you get new TV. It was pretty easy to adjust mine for proper setup.

Minor correction on removal of sway bar:

You SHOULD remove it before maneuvering into your campsite. I personally have overextended a sway bar. Take it off.

You will either bend it in half...

Depending on hitch, very normal.

Our round bar/friction sway - the noise was the sway bar. Like a popping as you turned.

I've thought the same just seeing what is on dealer lots. The 2015 models started showing "cost cuts", and surfing Crossroads RV site confirms the Zinger has "downgraded".

Ditto on the 60-65 MPH. I've seen a few vidoes of someone towing/swaying/flipping, and to me it seems a swerve while going way to fast is what sets the motion.

You can't swerve with these things,...
