And a good day to all!

Have started to read a lot of threads on the Escape 5.0/Ford 2021 5.7 foot box and I have read about hitch weights and payloads and I feel like I am starting to get a feel for it. Will read more and will ask questions when the need arises.

In brief, I have a 2021 Ford F-150 4x4 crewcab with a 5.7 foot box and 1307 pounds of payload which is juuuuust the limit for an Escape 5.0 according to what I have read so far. Some have stated that they have 1350 pounds of payload and it works. I am reading to see if the numbers check out before I order anything.

Have yourself a great day!

And enjoy all the info.

Be careful to keep that back seat and bed empty. I tow my 21NE with a short bed crew cab F150 and a payload of 1760lbs. GVWR is 6500lbs. With my normal load of grandpa, grandma, 6yr old, 9yr old, firewood, camp chairs, kayak & gear, kid toys, etc. along with ~550lbs of tongue weight bring me to a truck weight of +6300lbs most every time I go over a scale.

Just remember these fg campers last forever, so this may not be the last tow vehicle you will be using.....

my pay load is close too. heavy stuff goes in the trailer light stuff the truck it works out fine

I read recently about a truck camper owner with a crew cab that removed the rear seats and even the floor mats to increase the payload a bit.

Hey Jim LovellFord here
We just received our Escape 19 and am trying to register the different components (electrical/mechanical) for warranty coverage. The information that we received gives model numbers but not serial numbers. In order to register, serial numbers are needed. Does Escape have these. Is it just a matter of making a request? I would think these would be listed.

Other than the air conditioning, I do not recall registering any other Escape components for warranty purposes.

Can I ask why trailer owners wouldn't register their electrical/mechanical components with the companies to be receive warranty coverage if there was any?

I didn't and didn't have to, to have warranty work completed on my 2009 17B, but that was then.

I am not aware of separate warranties on the heater, the toilet or any other component, except for the 24 month Escape warranty on the whole trailer which includes these components.
