You don't like how the ecoboost F-150 handles some towing or hauling conditions...yet this is the third one you bought. What sense does that make?

I hope your situation settles for the best. I wouldn't drive a truck that I feel isn't safe for my family, so I understand you. I don't think you were bashing "every" F150 on the planet but I'm very surprised about that pic of your truck with the wood...... I thought those rear could take more than that.....

DBL Boost

It seems to me ford does not give a ss$$hhiitt about there customers, I had a window short out on me and shatter while my son was in the back and I'm fighting them to cover a $1200 window install.

I Notice your truck is levelled also, is it a 2" level?
This will also have a huge noticeable difference in hauling exspecially with that amount of hard wood u r pulling.

quite contrary, I think the only reason to buy an F350 is if you need a dually, you're plowing with it, or you just feel the need to tell people you have a 1-ton. otherwise, there are less rebates on the one ton and really the only difference on the current generation super duty is that the plow package springs which are available on the 250 are standard on the 350. they have the exact towing/hauling capacities.

I didn't know that, then again you rarely see newer f250's it's all f350's in my area

first I have questions
1. current mileage
2. what level kit
3. why is it at the dealer now


Now you say you baby this truck by doing every oil change at the dealer, but the truck is 6 months old, how often do you do oil changes?
Your trailer tongue weight is over the recommended weight, but forget that, if you didn't have a level kit you truck's rake would be even,
It would be cheaper to get a better trailer and just load that more and leave the bed empty on these trips
3rd ecoboost? same config every time? do you change trucks yearly? what year did you skip?
brakes failing, I assume vacuum pump?
4x4 issues are repaired now
what exactly makes this truck unsafe compared to the other 2?

really?

This discussion has focused in on the question of wether or not the truck should be able to do the job as pictured or not. It's fairly obvious to me that the truck is not sitting at a very safe angle front to back. You can make all the questamates you want about what the weight is but only a trip to the scales is going to tell the true actual weight on the trucks rear axle. I would also have concerns about how much weight is in the trailer vs its rated capacity.

My curiosity lies in the other problems you've had with this truck. What was the nature of the brake failures? What happened with the steering? The 4x4 problems were three front hubs?

his angle is because he has a 2" level
vacuum issues with the brakes,
iwe issues with the 4x4, Line came off the iwe after 1st repair (hence multiple)
steering I don't know but it seems like the 14's are having steering rack problems after the level
