It's was definitely Ford overload, thousands of cars and some straight weird ones, one guy had a tracked vehicle from 1942 that had Ford flat head V-8 in it which I guess qualified it as a "Ford". Overall great time!

Yea but if you weren't leveled or if you had air bags and a wdh I'm sure it would have been fine

That's nice to see! Did you have a weight distribution hitch? If you check fords website chances are you were within the towing specs. My truck is similar to yours by the looks of it and according to fords website it's tow rating is 9900lbs

Yes i had weight distribution hitch.. I know I was in spec for tow capacity Just was pretty sure i didnt have weight distributed properly. Super impressed with the truck with the 5.0 platform though. Could only imagine the ecoboost with its low end torque.

When is was towing with my 3.5 EB, it stayed in 6th almost the whole trip, only down shifted on a decent hill and was never "Hunting around" trying to find the right gear, that low end torque is awesome for this.

Fantastic car!!! One of my favorite Mustangs. I used to have a 1970 XR7 Cougar that had the 300hp 4bbl Cleveland. You could loose a cat in those intake ports! Too bad the Cleveland came out at the beginning of the emissions crunch.
