Default Pulling a 31 foot camper

Pulled the old camper this weekend. Very impressed with how the EB performed. I had pulled this camper before with a 2v V10, and I am quite confident, the EB handles it better.

Power is only half the equation. A long wheelbase goes a long way (no pun intended) toward making it an enjoyable experience.

What is the weight on your trailer? I have a 29ft 33.5 ft overall 6300lbs dry weight I pull with my 07 5.4l and it did fine just not sure I would want to pull it a thousand miles or in the mountains. We are looking to get my wife and Ecoboost that I can take over eventually when we are ready to replace my 07.

I dont pull the thing (its my grandparents) enough to get the long wheel base. I do agree if I pulled more I would go that route. Got a little nervous around 18wheelers. I wish the EB was an option in the SD. Pulling that 70 mph, the EB was content to be in 5th gear at about 2200 rpm.

The GVWR is 9100 lbs, but I dont know the actual weight.
