Intech is the best, f150 wasn't a fan of it. Put it behind any diesel and you don't even know it's there, even my wife's denali Yukon xl pulled it much nicer than the ford.

never mind. You have the same trailer. Wonder what his truck has that yours didn't? Perhaps a payload package? Lower gears? 9.75 rear axle? WDH may be the difference...? Who knows.

I'll be towing a trailer 5500 dry, 6500 ordered a 2.7L crew with tow and payload. Hoping it'll tow good as I need to buy the truck first then the trailer.

I don't know, I was disappointed to the point that I left without a truck, and I had every intention of buying one. The truck I drove had plenty of power, I think it was just the difference in pulling something at 80% of something's Max ability and towing it how I'm used to, at 25% of something's Max towing ability.

This truck purchase was to basically be a hold me over until the 2017 250s hit, and now I'm up ��'s creek. My kids car seats won't fit in a gm, the ford is 17 years old and I've had 2 mega cabs and I'm over dodge.

Also worth noting, my trailer is 6" taller than his I think and I have lots of **** on the roof that's all added wind resistance

Yes. You can have just about anything you want.I designed this trailer for what I needed. I had 26' to work with as far as my RV pad. I was able to get a full bathroom and kitchen and sleeping area. So the trailer is 22' and with the trailer tongue it's 26'

I will post interior pics in another post. You will like the color combo the wife picked out

I have to say the trailer didn't move my truck at all. The equalizer hitch was set up perfectly.

One more very important thing on the hitch. When I picked up my trailer they had my UTV and generator in the trailer and fresh water take full so they could set up the hitch right for the weight of the loaded trailer.

I bought my trailer through Wasatch Trailer in Layton Utah. Any good trailer place should know how to set it up right.


To show the difference I took off the EQ bars and drove down my street and the back of the truck dropped at least 4 inches. That would make a huge difference out on the road as far as how the truck would handle.
