Palm Springs/Joshua Tree KOA

When we left our home in Bellflower in February 2023, the Palm Springs Joshua Tree KOA was our first stop.  Since this was the first time Allen had towed the RV, we decided to stop after traveling for a few hours in case it was very stressful. When we departed Bellflower, it was drizzling with rain, but that didn’t seem to cause any problems.

Before the trip, Allen had been very nervous as it had been many years since he had towed anything, but the drive was easier than expected as the F-450 made the job a lot easier. The truck’s ability to tow the 5th-wheel without much effort amazed us.  It has a towing capacity of over 31,000 pounds. For reference, our RV weighs about half of that, so the truck has plenty of towing capacity, braking power, and torque.

Purchased 2022 Ford F-450 Dually Truck

We purchased our tow vehicle, a 2022 Ford F-450, in late November 2022 during the late stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Vehicles, much less big trucks, were difficult to find due to microchip shortages.  While researching which truck to buy, we learned that the 450 had a much better (smaller) turning radius than the F-350 or F-250. After calling various Ford dealerships and being told that there were no F-450s for sale in southern California, we found a 2022 with 43,000 miles on it at, of all places, a Volkswagon dealership.
