I smell a troll but... Aiiight, I'll bite.

What is your loaded trailer tongue weight?
What is your truck's payload capacity?

Now that there is chum in the waters I'll leave the rest for the Great Whites.






For the record. I wouldn't put much more than my K-Z Spree LX 261RKS behind my Max Tow EcoBoost. I would certainly tow heavier, but only something with less frontal and side-al surface area.

Please do post pics. It sounds like a nice trailer.

A 2003 F150 Supercrew has a max tow rating of 7700lbs. If you have the 4.6L you have 220hp and if it's the 5.4L then you still only have 260hp so i don't think it will pull the wheels off a 35' trailer!!

I pulled my 33' Flagstaff V-Lite with my 99 Tahoe just fine. I pulled it from Memphis to Yellowstone,down south to Grand canyon, and back home. Nearly 4000 miles of towing. You need a good WD hitch and the understanding that you will not have a lot of power. And my mpg was 8.5.

A picture is worth a thousand words! Any close encounters at Devil's Tower?

None of the extraterrestrial kind .... Lots of Prairie dogs thou. It was a long walk around the base. This trip was done in June/July of 2008. I am so ready to go back. But DW wants to go east coast first.

I pull a Jayco 29BHS for 7 years and never skipped a beat. Have a 5.4L and the only problem I have is the fuel mileage, at 9 miles per gal. It stinks. Truck sets perfectly level and with the correct weight distribution system it pulls great.
