Default f 150 towing

I purchased F150 5.0 V8 late 2012 with 2wd. the sales rep told me it would tow my 8K + LB trailer with ease. That was BULLHOCKY. Almost enough power for short drives really, but I was a rookie back then and looked at the max towing only, not the Gross Combined Weight. My fault. Anytime I was passed by a semi was blown all over the road. So any ROOKIES out there I would recommend weighing your trailer (and/or load) prior to purchasing, then calculate with the weight the truck prior to purchasing..

So, I took the easy route and traded for a F350 diesel, now that trailer was nothing. Just getting ready to trade the trailer in on a 12K lb 5th wheel. Should not be a problem...

Oh I'm still rebuilding it I just have so many projects that I could probably make a list a half a mile long lol!! But I have it gutted and put in new laminate floors and built the cabinet for the electric fireplace with stone surround and tv/bluray player and surround sound. I still have to put in the wall panels, windows, kitchen, bathroom, and then I'm having it painted. But my new show cattle barn has pushed all these other projects back.

Well I'm going to guess because you have huge tires, an 800lb bumper on the front, and a stock 5.4? Just a guess, lol
