Anybody into quading? I just upgraded from a flex to the F-150 because we got a second ATV and the flex was a little doggy, plus I needed a truck to tow our new boat, just loaded em up and about to haul them out to trails now, I'll report back with how I think the truck did with the 5.0, I've towed lots with my Dads ecoboost but never with a 5.0, hope I don't regret going that way lol, who's got quads here?

looks identical to my load up.. hope your not using a winch as a tie down. iv seen several fail its a sight to see when a atv is being drug by the winch line down the road. 4 straps is the only way to tie down

Nope, I don't use the winches for tying down, never have.
Truck did good towing but not as good as the ecoboost, just feels a little doggy compared to the eco.
You shouldn't regret not getting the Eco to tow that load. The 5.0 is more than cable to pull that with any axle ratio and pull it like butta compared to your flex. Have fun on those atvs. Used to carry my can am max in my bed.

Yup it's tows ok, but I still kinda wish I got the eco after towing with the 5.0 a bit, I use to borrow my Dads truck to tow my boat the odd time and the eco tows really good, I also have a 29ft camper that I hauled to the lake with my Dads truck but the boat and camper stay at the lake most times and are only moved a few times a year so the 5.0 will be good enough, my Dads truck has the max tow package with the 4.10 gears and it almost pulls like a diesel lol.

Into quading?? Nope,not here............ Lets see, 3 Recons, a Rancher, a Foreman, a Rubicon and a TRX300. Nope, my family is not into it at all. If I were smart I would have bought Honda stock about 15 years ago.
