It doesn't get much better than this, Ford towing a Chevy. I went with my brother in law to help him find a vehicle. This was the first vehicle we looked at, and it was too clean to pass up. It's got a couple small issues, but is in great shape overall. It's a 2003 Blazer with 136k, 4x4 and loaded up nice. He picked it up for $2,600. Had to rent a U-Haul trailer to get it home. This is the most weight I've towed in my F150 so far, it was about 6,000lbs. Next month my truck will be moving a 9,000lb camper about 20 miles, we'll be using a load distributing hitch for this job. I was pretty impressed by how easily my truck handled the load today, and look forward to towing the camper.

Man, I tried to rent a u haul vehicle trailer when I got out of the Marine Corps so that I could tow my Isuzu Trooper home and they told me that the minimum truck they could rent one out to was a 3/4 ton, even though I showed them my truck was rated to tow it easily. What a bunch of BS. Don't rent from the u haul in Havelock, NC.

Yea, they were a bit **** about it, but I can't blame them. I'm sure they've seen it all, IE guys showing up with 4cyl trucks trying to tow big trucks, etc. They asked what I was towing, what I had down to engine, drivetrain, etc, and my hitch rating. They also checked my wiring once it was hooked up.
