I know what the truck is made for but it is still a truck. It pulls better than any f150 I have ever pulled with too, only thing it needs to be a pulling machine is stiffer springs or airbags. But that would take away from its original purpose. Truck has been 70+ down farm roads and the beach and didn't even blink at that stuff, but what's the point of it if it can't pull a trailer?

I hear the same **** about my limited. And I've yanked a T300 around with attachments for a couple weeks when my 450 was down. And it did just fine.

It will pull just fine. If not better than the next guy bc you got a set of 4.10's. Ford limits it bc of the springs and suspension. You have the same motor, trans, axles, coolers, ring gear diameter as the max tow package.

On more meds than ymeski
Well I guess my brother finally decided to pull something with his truck. Apparently he was volunteered to pull this for a parade.

This is my 2012 F150 SCrew Lariat 4x4 with Ecoboost engine and 3.31 gear ratio. I'm pulling a 2013 Jayco White Hawk 30DSRE travel trailer. The trailer has a max GVWR of 8,200 lbs which is exactly the max rating for the truck (tow package but not Max tow).
It is about a 50 mile drive from the RV dealership to my house. I had a full load of fresh water, full propane tanks, and stuff in the bed of my truck. I would guess I was probably around 7,000 - 7,250 lbs. Of course, I could tell I was pulling a load but the truck seemed to have no problem with it. I wasn't lagging behind traffic when taking off from a red light and such. It felt like I really had a lot more power to spare than to think that 1,000 more pounds and I'd be at my maximum.
