I am seconding most of what has been said above - there are also several prior threads on this site and tons of Youtube videos. From my experience last week - hair dryer and patience. I took my time on the first, kept the heat on the leading edge and pulled very slowly and the decal came off...
I usually tow at 60-65mph - my wife has an uncanny ability to sense when I hit 66 mph and ask if am going too fast! Besides two AGM batteries versus lithium, I am guessing I am pretty typical in how I am loaded. I have never weighed it loaded, but always think about doing so when I am passing...
I didn't consider the issue with the email address so thanks for the tip - overly enthusiastic to share the savings with the good people here, I guess. I edited my post to remove the formatted address.
No install yet as I just ordered it yesterday. Looks easy and that aspect of the Lomax (easy...
I took a tip from another thread on here and ordered from Luke Kyle at TruckAlterations.com (truckler is user name on F150Forum) and his email is "luke at truckalterations .com" . Check their website to find the brand and model you want and email him the details on the model and your truck. Ask...
I second the 3M adhesive remover - sells at many auto parts stores and works great. However, if you put a hair dryer on it and keep it on the leading edge as you remove them very slowly, you should not have any residue. I have found (last weekend on my 2021) that it is only when you get...
Jack - I pull a 2018 Lance 1995 TT so am in pretty close to the same situation. With my 2018 3.5L Ecoboost and 36 gallon tank, I consistently got 12 to 13 mpg pulling around the flat parts of Southern California and that dipped down to about 11 mpg when I threw in a trip up and over the Cajon...
It won't be me either. I am in the same boat - all ready to go with the dogbone connection, surge guard, and extension and no truck yet (March 15 is my hope based on dealer). Being able to modify to have a clean connection to the front of the trailer and not have to go up and over the tailgate...
I share the opinion that you are probably a little ambitious with the size of the TT. I am waiting on a Platinum PB and expecting a payload in the 1350 lb range and I am comfortable but not as much as I'd like pulling my 5,500 lb 19-ft Lance TT. My guess is that your Jayco is going to push you...
I am definitely interested in the discussion, but a suggestion beyond the technical details of payload capacity - ask your insurance broker what an umbrella liability policy would cost you. I have a few teenage daughters driving vehicles in my name, and getting an umbrella coverage for a couple...
