First tow w my 2016 ecoboost 4x4 Lariat F150
This is my first 4wd truck and I loved being able to pull through a friends property in 4A w no problems, never needing 4H or 4L in some soft sugar sand. Best mpg I seen was 18.7 around 55mph in cruise control and it dropped to 16 around 70mph while towing my Yamaha Grizzly 700 this weekend. Stayed in tow/haul mode most of the time but Sport mode gets you up to speed in a jiffy.

I would think your truck hardly knew it was there.
If looking for any opinions I would try and level it out (trailer) nose up is not good. Level or slightly nose down. Drop down should be another 2" down?
If it's level and not nose up, my apologies.

It looks like the trailer is nose up to me too. Throw a 2†drop hitch on there and it’ll be good to go. Nice looking rig you’ve got. 3.5 or 2.7? My dad just bought a 2017 Lariat 3.5L Eco and he loves it. I’m partial to my 5.0 though.

tow haul mode for that? lol maybe you were just trying it out. your mpg seem low unladen and good while towing. and yes, 4a is awesome

The trailer looks tongue high because of the parking lot. I was trying out all the settings/modes and I could barely tell there was anything back there. Sport mode totally made any eight back there disappear since the truck was always in the power band.
