Default First tow w/3.5 ecoboost

Just a short run over hilly back roads. The power of the 3.5 was very impressive, much better than my '14 Silverado 5.0 with the same load. Trailer plus tractor is around 7K. Got 10.5 MPG, very pleased!

I use a weight distribution hitch, without it I'm sure it would be way too much tongue weight.

I towed my new-to-me travel trailer home the other day. It weighs in at 4250 lbs dry and I couldnt believe how well the truck tows. You think the 3.5 is a beast with no weight in it but then you hook up a trailer and its like it transforms. Nothing seems to slow it down.

Oh the big one. Thought it looked big compared to the truck. I have a B2410 with backhoe and loader and have been considering a trailer for it, but not a need for one.
