Thanks fellas...this was a real struggle and one me and the family had to have a sit down for. 

Things are going to be lean around here for awhile.   I have never bought anything this expensive but I had some equity thanks to the Jeep that was in the F150 and a good deal (a favor really) by the dealer.  They gave me what I needed for my trade...and gave me just a hair over A Plan pricing which is 2K below X Plan on a tricked out Lariat.   I have every option on a Platinum except massage seats and adaptive steering.   

6.7 Powerstroke with 6 sp tranny on a 3.55 rear end.   

It is ramen noodles for the next 4 years in our house.

So what triggered it? couldn't stand to drive around a truck that assaulted a mailbox?

Ouch.  What triggered it was nothing able to safely put family in the F150 and tow our new camper.  Was a tad over weight.

Fair enough, I think you bought a camper a bit too big, so you wold have to get back into a F250 ;)

Seriously, when I went to the F150 after the Jeep, we didn't own a camper and there were Zero plans to do it.   Then when the kids said they wanted it again, i looked for smaller campers...but momma said hell no to a 24fter with a murphy bed in it.   So we looked at the weights carefully and I knew the 29BH we bought had a max GVWR of 8500 which is well within the limits of the F150, what i didn't factor in was the length,   its 34.6 feet long, ball to bumper.  That is the problem.

Per the Cat Scales, my loaded pin is 1060 lbs and the camper loaded light is 8000.   

I was only left around 400lbs +/- 20 of cargo.   Which would be like one Yeti full of Miller Lite and diet coke.   :)

Front   3120
Rear  3720

total 13,880  with Weight Distribution.
