Where did you get your clip on mirrors? I have not been able to find those for 2015 F150.
BTW will be picking Imagine 2600RB in about a week. Yours looks nice.

Default What do you guys think...

I have a 2016 LARIAT 5.0L with 3.31 axle....towing a 29Ft Crossroads Sunset Superlite which weighs in at 5700lbs (dry). Try not to pack it down, carrying 3 kids, wife and myself...oh ya 10lb dog...more of a purse dog.


What do you guys think, any issues. I was thinking to go with the 3.55 which I had on my 2014 FX4 but dealer stated newer rides the 3.55 and 3.31 had similar specs...


Thanks...

Nice bike!


Can't tell for sure - is it an R2 or R3?

according to the towing specs the 3.55 does not seem to give you much more on a 2016. You don't say want engine you have but the two seem identical.

These trucks have more than enough power to tow, it's the payload you want to keep an eye on. That being said, a good WDH and some rear airbags or AAL will help immensely.

First time poster, signed up just now.
Here is my setup.
2016 F-150 XL 5.0 3.55 rearend, Tow package. Love this new Ford
Behind it is our 2016 Coachman Clipper 17BH. Just big enough for my wife and myself and the 2 grandkids get the bunks. We are ready for the first trip June 3, 4, and 5th on the shore of Lake Huron!

Nice set up....is that your house in the background? If so is that a Mosely antenna?
