First summer with the truck, and first summer with the trailer. These pictures were taken on our recent trip to the Finger Lakes area of NY. My son asked to get in the picture, and I couldn't say no!
Here's a shot of us setup at Robert Treman State Park in Ithaca, NY. Close quarters, between getting it over far enough without the awning hitting the tree, or keeping the trailer from rolling down the hill behind us.
I couldn't be happier with how it pulls currently. Tune and new tires coming next year for sure! The trailer is a 2014 Jayco Jayflight 28BHBE that weighs roughly 7100 lbs dry. The truck with the Ecoboost, max tow and 3.73s pulls it beautifully. With the WDH and anti-sway, you wouldn't know it was there at 55 MPH on a two lane road!

Awesome to see and hear this! We have the same model trailer and just bought our MTT Lariat to tow the Jay Flight and be able to get off Long Island comfortably, but haven't yet towed with it. We love our Jayco 28BHBE layout and hope to hit up some new campgrounds we haven't been able to get to. Hope to see you out there!
Me testing the towing ability of this Low mileage 2012 F150 3.7 V6 before I bought it. It does fine in the coastal plain of NC where I live. There is something about the engine I really like .
Maybe its the Underdog status. IDK But she sounds great under load. My previous
truck a 2001 2500 6.0 Gas. FYI the little Ford gets the load rolling with less effort than the 2500 due to the lower first gear ratio going to second I can tell a difference with the 6.0 having more pulling power. you just have to let the little 3.7 rev. I like it

Just think of the time y'all gonna save by not having the Ford at the dealer for recalls like the chevy!
