Just went on 1000+ mile trip with this setup and it did great! Felt really good still at 80 on the interstate. My truck with bags handled it without any issues. I averaged around 10mpg on the way out and 9.xx on the way back with a head wind. I traveled about 10mph over the speed limit in most situations. I wanted to report back so people had first hand experience on it. I would buy it again so far after the 1st voyage!)

Your truck is perfectly level, doesn't even know the Talon is up there (waaaay up der :oops: ). (no, I'm not one that thinks that's a problem 😎)

You have like a thousand pounds in the air bags? :p

I looked at this setup with my F250 but the cargo rating is only 2945 lbs. When I done the math, Pioneer with cab, glass windows, other accessories, weight of the rack, passengers and cargo and then tongue weight of the trialer I was was way over the suggested limit. I know the truck will handle it but my trailer tongue weight put me over to far for my liking. I would of also added air bags. I should of bought a ton but I didn't need it at the time.

Funny that people are so worried about this setup. A talon weights less than most cab over campers and we have been putting those in truck beds for decades...
True, Ive had a COC But those have a balance to them on your truck with the hight and weight throughout the truck with strategic tie downs at the front of the bed and back of the bed down to the bottom of the bad. Completely differnt set up for weight distribution and no wheels on it for roll off if a strap cuts loose. Thats the difference I that that has some up in arms. Myself, I say to each his own. But Ill pass on the set up.
