Well I guess you need to take out the coffee maker? LOL! Sacrafices must be made.
I hit the disable rear sensors button above your screen when I back up to my hitch. That truck is sweet.
I learned a long time ago... If the wife thinks it looks good and it doesn't bother you... Leave it. 😂
I learnt a long time ago.... if wife gets any ideas around you, change wife asap
Beautiful combination! Congratulations!
I really like the integrated bed scale, it's great information to have 'before' you hit the road. The rear pinstripe is cool and all but I prefer a cleaner, uninterrupted look on the rear flare.
It’s hard to believe that trailer weighs that much… I was expecting right at 3k, great video and demonstration!
The technology and ability to have a trailer library is just awesome. Get your preferences set, the light test is great (especially if you are working solo). Having the odometer is great-can help give a real world estimate of how far the trailer has travelled and when maintenance is needed.
Love the way the white truck looks with the Brookstone!
Brooklyn Bedding. Great mattresses
Wow! That whole set up looks absolutely beautiful !!!! Better then before because the truck matches the trailer.
Brooklyn Bedding, Baby. Mine weighs 50 lbs. and it is wonderful ‼️
I’m a big steel body guy so I like those definite fenders so I like both the black pinstripes on both the front and rear. Give it that more robust look in my opinion
Very nice truck! One of the big upgrades we did for our F-350 SRW was to change the OEM fuel tank with a nearly 70-gallon tank. It fits in the same space as the OEM tank. We also installed an air compressor inside the frame, located under the right passenger seat. We pull a 38 ft 5er.
JD sharp looking rig with the trailer. I like the pin strip on both front and back, I own a 2022 450Larit and that was before the bed scale. Nice to see the up dates the new trucks!!!
Nice looking truck and trailer. 11:46. Things I’ve learned on my 24 F350 platinum- That is a whole truck scale, not just a bed scale. The 150 is just an average driver weight ford puts in there that can be changed (not sure where they get that from, I’m way over😂). Above the payload number up there, if you tap the 3 bars, you can change it to an actual scale if you need to and it is surprisingly accurate. Hopefully that helps you with that feature.
That totally does. I'm learning something new everyday. Thank you
I have the exact same setup. I use a magnetic telescope ball. I stick it to the back edge of the goose ball plate and back up to the “S” on the REESE 20K emblem and as soon as it starts to bend forward stop the truck. Just eyeball it out the back window. You’ll be right on target.
Great technology and thank you so much for sharing. 😎👍
Accent line makes the fender flairs look bolt on.. I like :)
Honestly, its a beautiful setup. Hard to believe from the beginning you're going full circle.
The Ford Pass app used to have the trailer light check built in. Incredibly useful and convenient. Ford took that away, but hasn't implemented the trailer light check on the head unit for F150 owners yet.
That 5.0 or whatever update ruined the app. I got the APK for an older version, works great.
Nice features. If HR says it good leave the stirpes on the back :)
Excellent! Looks great! Can’t wait to see how she pulls!
Mattress Insider 9" memory foam, weighs about 1/2 what you have and it's really comfortable. We've had it for 6 years now and it's better than our Tempurpedic at home.
Nice to see how the new stuff works
It looks amazing together!
Looking Good!!!
Gorgeous truck. I am definitely envious !
Amazing truck! Beautiful spec
How about an air mattress, technology has to be pretty good in that area these days and they have to be better and that would light. Or a water bed and just fill it up when you get to your spot 😂
Looks great.
Great Video Always Learning Something New Thank You 🙏
Man that is a awesome setup I love it, can't wait to hear how she tow.😊
I bought the angle adapter for my Reese goosebox based on your recommendation, game changer. So much easier.
Beautiful
Hey JD, I hope you're having a great day! I really like everything that your new F450 gives you and all the different things that you can do when you hitch up your fifth wheel. The scale that you have in the bed of your truck is great an the check list that you have on the infotainment screen is spot on . I figured the back end of your truck would have been Squatted alittle bit but you can't even tell that you have weight in the bed of your truck. Have a super great trip and be safe my friend! Happy 4TH of JULY JD!!!! Your number one fan an friend Leonard from North Carolina.
Looks amazing
Looks good
That is a sweet rig. Congrats!
inspiring and informative
Great looking rig
Looks really sharp. Good choice of colour of truck
Sharp look. My 2023 doesn’t have the bed scale. That’s good info to have. Enjoy your trip!
Beautiful Rig!
Looking good
Looks Good
Good looking tow rig and trailer
Nice job
Nice rig!
I have 24 350 dually lariat I like how it will keep track of Miles for each trailer you add helps keep track of trailer maintenance beautiful truck and rv combo I went with black truck and have a momentum toy hauler so the black and white looks nice with black truck
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣 Dam that got me roll'n put an RV on a diet jajajaajaja
Look at Helix mattresses... I have a bad back and I sleep like a dead man on this mattress. All done online, great return program... you won't be disappointed.
This set up looks a whole lot better than the red truck. Just my opinion! Looks cleaner.
Kool I like it
1) Interesting video.
2) That auto light check feature is a neat feature. Sure beats walking back and forth from front to rear checking each taillight and turn signal.
2) Keep the pinstripes.
Good looking truck/fifth wheel setup. I'm looking forward to your video on the driving experience with the new truck versus your old truck.
So if you actual pin weight is 3600lbs and the top of scale on that in cab display is 4941 lbs it’s waaaaay off. You should be roughly 3/4 of the maximum load but that gauge looks more like 90%. If the tech isn’t accurate it isn’t going to be useful.
On the plus side it looks great and I love that it didn’t seem to squat at all. I’ll bet it’s a dream to tow.
Hey jd, most of us Americans are trying to get rid of that extra weight out front. Lol
You should look at select comfort mattress
I have the GooseBox as well but my Shrader valve is on the underside. I got a valve extender kit and now I have it mounted to the side of the GooseBox.
Just my opinion. I think the pin stripe on the rear makes it look like the fender flair is an add on rather than factory.
If the bed scales don’t give you the amount of weight you just added when you put the weight of the trailer on the ball it just gives you the lights and bar graph, what is the point? Still a guessing game.
If you took the 5” offset ball out it would show less weight on the truck scale. Looks like you have plenty of room to tow the trailer with the factory gooseneck ball location & 8’ bed
RV on a diet, classic - generator is permanent, washer and dryer-she says No. change bed, 6 years left on warranty. Your rv is very similar to our KZ MB382MBQ.
I think the rear fender pinstripe compliments the front pinstripe 👍
Does the trailer hook up assist work with a 5th wheel or a goose neck trailer as well, like when you use it on a bumper pull trailer ???
I think it's really cool to tow these huge trailers, real houses on wheels, and it's even cooler that your government encourages caravanning and its roads and streets are well structured to receive them, here in Brazil it's the opposite, most cities don't allow it. At your entrance, most campsites cannot support a trailer of this size, and the Winnebago and Jayco are often sold here but only in small sizes, entering urban centers with a trailer of this size is an impossible task, narrow streets and signage downtown we are trying to change the laws to encourage caravanning here, I hope that in the future it will be different, hugs
Check out a Sleep Number RV, I have a queen and would say is well under 200 lbs, probably 125.
Great looking rig... pinstripe looks good...could always find a grafix detailer and get some matching grafix for the truck to the coach...😊
Can u power the camper with the connection to the truck that get the lites and turn signals?
Were you on your helper springs? What was you total scale weigh once you drove it off the pad?
You have a nice set up! How do you like your Brookstone? We looked at a Chaparral 336 FL when we bought our East to West 5th wheel. We also looked at a Brookstone, but it was too heavy for my Ram 2500. I have now upgraded into a Ram 3500 dually, so the discussion has shifted to what is the next RV for us. Again, beautiful rig.
Looks great. Keep the rear stripe
Can you tell me what the adapter you have on the Reese? I have such a problem filling that. Thanks and safe travels
Can you tell me what the end of your clean out end is called and where you got it. Thanks
first thing I noticed when I dropped my gate, was that camera really doesn't help for trailering. Like you said the perspective is a bit off to use in close proximity. I also had a hard time just backing up across the yard using the top gate camera, vs the normal tailgate camera, definitely learning curve.
JD, I just had a Gen Y gooseneck hitch installed two weeks ago. The installer told me to cross the chains.
Might try the zoom button on the center camera
Nice looking set up. The in-bed scale is great, but in all reality, unless you tow a lot of different trailers, it only comes in handy for the first few tows if your trailer or set up hardly changes. But, more info is always better. Thanks for sharing.
I recently replaced m 2018 F250 Lariat with a 2024 F350 Lariat to haul my Alliance Paradigm 310RL. There is a CAT scale near me so taking it in initially to get weights wasn't that big a hassle. The in-bed scale is convenient but not a necessity in my opinion. Once my trailer was setup (i.e. loaded with the usual day to day stuff) I don't expect the weight to change significantly between trips.
There’s a scale mode you can see in the scale app. It gives you an actual number if I remember right. It will be a range for the exact number. You’ll find this mode in the settings menu at the top.
My 22 F350 XLY CC LB 4x4 7.3L fully loaded has a payload of 4497 so i can definitely tow this
When the shades are down they swing back and forth and potentially cause damage.
Did you do a video of the 5th wheel bumper implement? I need something like that.
Where did you find that magnetic holder (attached to the side of the Goosebox) for the breakaway cable?
I was wanting to ask you if Battery Disconnect switches are a good idea to prevent theft and battery drain on your truck or RV. Is that something you have considered?
Being from a cold-weather state, I would disagree. I never ever use a parking break. They have a tendency to stick in the winter time, especially Fords. I love my Fords
JD, I have never seen you use or talk about slide lock bars. Do you use them? If not why?
Beautiful setup! What are the benefits of the gooseneck over a 5th wheel setup that you've used in the past? With that large of a rig, do you notice a difference in towing stability?
I don't think I saw before that you use the gooseneck connection. Is that a setup you'd actually fully recommend? I like a gooseneck much more than the massive, standard hitch setup but have read in some facebook pages it's not the best. That was a little over a year ago though.
It's nice... what do you.think I should do to live in full time. A GMC van , a Colorado with small RV.,or a 1500 diesel with a RV, 3500 gas, diesel long body. Just myself. 😮😊
I wouldn't worry about cutting weight. You never overload that truck with that little trailer.
What "pest repellant" are you using?
did that trailer come with the gooseneck?
You've probably talked about it before, but what's the advantage of a gooseneck ball versus a 5th wheel style hitch? I know the ball can be flipped or removed more easily than the full 5th wheel hitch but is there another advantage with towing, maneuvering, etc?
mattress vs f450 payload... what a match up. that is a heavy rv pin weight though
JD would you consider doing the VOLTA system upgrade to your rig similar to "Changing Lanes"?
Forgive my ignorance but what advantage(s) does the conversion from 5th wheel to Gooseneck hitch provide?
Mainly the lack of a fifth wheel hitch in the bed of the truck. When unhitched, I get my bed back and don't have to fuss with removing a 150lbs part. Even if there are tricks to removing the hitch, they all require managing the part.
I wonder if your offset ball is affecting your scale reading. Would be interesting to compare.
It shouldn't. The scale is actually for the entire trucks payload.
JD I would like to know if you have any sway on your gooseball vs the conventional fifthwheel.
No sway at all
Hey JD, the Chevy's disengage the parking brake automatically if you get on the throttle. Might be worth seeing if your truck does or not.
The 23+ fords do the same.
I hope its the lighting because the rear wheel arches look a shade brighter than the bed and the pinstripe amplifies it. really noticeable at 21 19. edit, the longer i look at 20 19, the whole truck looks two tones of white, weird.
It's because it's a TriCoat paint job. Very common to see it differently at different angles.
