3.7L v6 breakin tow test..
#1
Just got done pulling a 2600lb dump trailer loaded with a 3900lb with my 2011 f-150 crew cab. I was suprised how well this truck did. The engine and transmission seem not no even stress at all. I was worried the little base engine handling it. NOTE: I would usually never use this trailer on a standard receiver, but this truck doesn't have one installed (yet). But it was safe and kept it of any highway. Still impressed... Good job Ford on making a good truck...

Besides the redneck hockup. I will say if the trucks only rated for 5700lb. It sure seems like it could handle at least the load I made it do. All be loaded properly done. Is it just the engine the reduces the towing between the 5.0 and 3.7 or is there any other differences?
