Default It Pulls Just Fine

I have a 15 Platinum Ecoboost with 3.55 gears and max tow package. I get to pick up incredible cars to bring back to our shop to get all shined up. I pull any where from 8500-11000 lbs. The truck handles whatever I throw at it.

My other trailer is the fun trailer. One inTech trailer is for hauling cars my other inTech trailer is for hauling fun. InTech will build you pretty much what you want so I had a custom toy hauler made by them. The trailer is only 22' long and it has a full bathroom and kitchen and two fold down couches that turn into beds. It fits my Polaris XP Turbo just fine. When the trailer is loaded with water, generator and UTV it comes in just under 9000 lbs. The truck has zero problem pulling this also.

When you work at the best detail shop in the country it is easy to keep everything clean.

OK, it's official, you are my antimatter. My poor truck has never seen a car wash or a can of wax. It's why I lease.

Although the F-150 is capable of towing that much weight; if I was doing regularly for work I would move up to the F-250. The heavier F-250 is much better controlling heavy trailers. Also, the diesel engine would be more fuel efficient than gas engines when under load.

You are absolutely correct. I do wish I had the bigger 250 or even the 350 but I had the truck before the trailers. The only reason I posted about pulling these trailers is I wanted people on the fence on what the F150 could do as far as pulling. One thing I do when pulling either trailer is I never (try not to) go over 65 mph.
