Super informative. Looks like you’ve got a good distribution. Unfortunately, appears this is what a maxed out configuration looks like (3500 +3900=7400gvw).
Curious, did the onboard scales show the same? Any Ford warnings about exceeding GVWR?

I have the same issue. Disclosure: My truck is on order, but I also have a trailer mounted winch for my race-car. My last truck I added a 1/0 cable from the truck battery, along the frame, and mounted to the rear bumper with an Anderson style connector plug. Reverse the setup on the trailer...
Anybody with a Fas-Top travel package (tonneau + soft topper) have any intel on whether they are compatible with the auto-lift tailgate (either configuration).
Very close to pulling the trigger, but slightly concerned it won’t auto-close (particularly in Tonneau mode)
The max tow does seem to reduce payload but impact varies depending on the spec. Ex: the Powerboost already has the 3/4 float axle, so really only adds the larger rear brakes. I think its a ~20lb-50lb hit from what I can tell in this thread depending on spec.
I can’t wrap my brain around a...
Wanted to start a thread on ideas, parts, antenna and mic mounting options
Credit to @Slappy McGee for a fantastic YouTube vid. Hard to imagine a more informative, well though out video; thanks!
I don't have my truck yet, but I plan on essentially copying @Slappy McGee methods with slight...
Disclaimer: this is my experience on an 06 F150.
-Bolts go into threaded holes
-Park on level ground, remove & replace 1 bolt at a time
- Use penetrating lube if corrosion suspected
-I discarded factory washers when i installed D-rings to ensure overall bolt head height was the same, and same...
In my last F150, I removed the six bed bolts, and reinstalled with these. Gave me bed-level tie downs. Be aware, the bed bolts are 1x use.

Thats awesome! If it helps, I used this QD kit for my trailer winch to drive it off my truck battery. You could run a QD kit front and rear so the wiring would be a cinch either way. Wish the Powerboost had a simpler method, but I think old school is the way for winch wiring...
Disclosure: I track/race a 2019 Camaro ZL1/1LE. Camaro chased performance to its own fault. GM made a phenomenally capable sports car at the expense of ergonomics and convenience, giving up significant marketshare to Ford, which is a much better and usable street car. And once it became clear...
So, one more thought. May want to have a strategy to keep exhaust/CO out of the camper if using the PPOB for power. Perhaps a dryer hose or similar and an internal CO alarm.
Something else to consider, most DCFC stations are on perimeter of curbed parking lots. From a layout perspective, they are not conducive to accommodating a vehicle with trailer in tow. You may have to anticipate unhooking just to get to the charger.
