towing capabilities
here is my question my supercab has the 5.4L and i currently use a 1952 Cub for mowing around the house the tractor ways close to 2000lbs will my truck be able to tow this vehicle safely? or borrow a bigger truck?
I can easily do a 2000 lb trailer with a 4.2. I've seen guys safely pull 30-40 horse tractors through the mountains with their 4.6's. A 30 horse tractor weights about 6000 lbs, a 40 can way close to 7500 lbs. These trucks are set to pull 10,000 lbs from the factory with automatics. If you have a standard like me, OE clutches are only good for 3500 lbs, even thought the transmissions are geared lower than their auto counterparts. Here is one for you, 3/4 ton Cummins and Duramax diesels will pull upwards of 25,000 lbs if you know what your doing.
I pull my jeep on a 2k lb trailer with
a 97 explorer with the 5.0 at the moment
because my 98f150 is still parked... it does surprisingly well
