    New Grand Design 337RLS owners

    Greetings! We just purchased a 2018 337RLS, and we couldn't be happier! We are not new to camping, we have a Keystone Outback that we have had at our lake lot, but the time was right for a fifth wheel. We pick it up next week from our local Grand Design dealer.

    If you pick it up next week, how do you know "It pulls it just fine?" Rick was probably asking the question because of the long history of discussions on the group about the 337 and 3/4-ton trucks. It's not a matter of pulling it, but rather the loaded pin weight. Many of the members on the forum have 337s with measured pin weights over 3,000 lbs. (ours is usually around 3,100 lbs.). This often exceeds the rear axle ratings on a 3/4-ton truck when you get it loaded and weighed.

    I know it pulls it just fine because we've had the camper for two weeks. Our pickup has 9900 gvwr, pin weight on our camper is 2600 lbs. That's how I know!

    Woody2218, I was just curious is all, we pull ours with a Silverado 2500HD 6.0 and we are under weight specs too, truck pulls, stops and handles great. Truck sits level, does not bottom out springs or bump stops on the axles. Welcome to Grand Design Nation!
