You should be fine 7600lbs with 1910 payload. I can't imagine the 19 angler weight over 5K and payload due to aluminum bed is awesome on the new fords. https://www.ford.com/resources/ford/gen ... 0_Sep7.pdf

New SAE ratings assume 2*150lbs for passengers - so you subtract 300 from total. Old ratings didn't include anything or were purely up to manufacturer.

Not the floor storage I’m talking about under the seat (you can lift up the cushion on the passenger seat which reveals a cavernous space). I m talking about the side of that facing the walk way on the sliding compartment under the seat cushion. Avoids having to ask passengers to move and...

A bit off topic. But shows how gatekeepers work. I entered the country from Europe once with some cured horse meat. At the border I dutifully told them I had the horse meat. They confiscated it because of mad cow disease. :shock: There is no discussion or logic to be had with these...

I am pondering cutting out a hole in the side of the storage bin under the passenger seat and installing a teak door - has anyone done this? any down side? The issue being that its annoying to always have to move cushions around to get stuff out of there. Also I am curious if anyone else with...

I could move my trailer with a corvette too that doesn't mean its safe. The problem is these weights are all dry with no people in it etc. I think a 20-30% buffer is good to have so you are assured of not exceeding the ratings as stated. To the point of lawyers writing these things - if they...

What year ?

Bob's mobile C-Dory repair. Sounds like a good gig to me. On your way north Bob make sure to swing by - I'd love to pick your brain :-)

I think the old rule of thumb of having 20-30% greater towing/payload capacity than needed still applies for safety. At the end of the day overloading or being at max capacity of your vehicle is not advisable. If you have a 6000lb trailer a good rule of thumb is to have a vehicle capable of...

Did you see the comments on the page. I thought it hilarious to the point of the 150lbs. I am myself more along the lined of 250lbs 6'4" hence my point re payload and my gut :-) I love too the elevators that rate a 900lb load at 8 people. ROFL... https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/won ...

Bob - exactly with the new SAE standard introduced in 2008 suddenly payload and towing ratings dropped for many vehicles from one year to the next (I think as of 2017 most manufacturers finally adopted the standard) while the vehicle itself never changed. I am glad to see some standards in this...

For tongue weight this hitch is awesome also it supports up to 10000 lbs & is aluminum (no rust) https://www.weigh-safe.com Again most vehicles including trucks the issue is not the weight of the trailer but the payload rating. In most cases you will exceed payload before you exceed GVWR...

Mark, I’m excited to see this development it looks great! Just one thing I noticed is that the 23 shows as balsa core. I thought it was a foam core. I think some of the old websites mistakes were carried over by the developer. But the site is a huge improvement nice job! Thank you, it’s...

This does bring up a good point. I towed my 23 venture with a 2017 jeep grand Cherokee and replaced the vehicle with a ram 1500 eco diesel. While my jeep towed it fine based on payload (550lbs tongue weight) if you added gear in the rig as well as two passengers we were overweight. The point...

Think this would fit on the roof of my venture? :-) https://youtu.be/E41kFAL0UUo

Lots of articles will say lots of things. I have an ecodiesel. I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee which could tow the 23 venture but the bumps around Seattle with the load leveling suspension were annoying. So far so good. I average 22mpg driving two hours from Portland’s east side through the city...

I agree 4 adults on my boat and 2 kids (on my 23) would annoy me. Also the boats seem to be sensitive to weight moving around on them. 3 adults plus captain moving around or sitting on the bench seems like a listing and cruising agravation to me. My wife finds it comical I ask her to tell me...

Net year I’ll join you on the bike ride. Good to meet you all!

Thanks everyone for a wonderful trip. We are home safe boat did great. Going up deception pass in ebb tide was fun! Special thanks to Fred and Robbin for taking us out on our first San Juan trip. Thanks all for making us feel welcome and good times / conversation. I’ll be back out these...

Gene, Thanks for sharing your adventures. The kiddos with s’mores are way too cute. My wife would love to do the same but we haven’t figured out the Wordpress thing yet. How/where did you learn? Harald
