That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. No. Just no.

Tell him it's okay cause you're getting a lift kit.

You need an XLT for that.

 

yeah height has nothing to do with it, Just weight. but don't try to tow anything higher then the bridges. lol

 

There is a warning in the load/towing section of the manual about trailer frontal area and reduced load capacity. But the details are fuzzy

 

I call BS. I am towing a 32ft TT 6500lbs 10-11ft high. 3.73 Eccoboost. Pulls awesome. I have seen a 5.4L pulling a fifth wheel and they are even taller.

 

cali its a law 14' is max height you can tow that's off the ground to the highest point! now in the south its a lot lower so pay attention to all bridges.

 

+1

The frontal area recommendations are based upon the engine choice and gearing. Weight of the trailer is obviously a factor for accelerating, braking, and turning, as well as stability.

Frontal area is Just as important due to the wind resistance caused by the frontal area at freeway speeds.

Does height by itself matter, no, at least it does not other than legal requirements and bridge / overpass heights.

Does frontal area matter - absolutely, and anyone who thinks it does not matter is simply ignorant, and I would HIGHLY recommend any towing advice they might provide.

Be safe and have fun.
