2910??? The family is looking at the Passports, we are really interested with the 2910 as it has everything we want and some nice upgraded features too.

Now I guess it'll work just as well for just me and the dog with the occasional friend tagging along.

New to the forum. Bought my f150 5.0L 9 days ago to tow my new Lance 1685 trailer. Only had 120 miles on the truck when we did our first maiden voyage. Scale has the trailer at 4200 lbs with all our cargo, water, gas, etc. barely noticed the trailer behind us. My first ford and very impressed. I've owned over a dozen Chevy trucks but this truck is quickly becoming one of my favorite trucks.
We got our MY12 Lance 1985 in June, and the Ford F-150 FX4 SCREW EB (Max Tow) a week later. Although my Range Rover could tow it fine, being wider than my previous trailer (8ft vs 7ft) made it impossible to see behind, even with mirror extenders.
Traded the wife's Audi Q5 for the F-150. She actually likes the truck better. Go figure.
I found the ride rather "bouncy" with the F-150, but just installed some "Rancho 9000XLs" for the rear to see if I could smooth it out.

I was thinking up upgrading my shocks to BilsteinHD but then decided to try the Roadmaster Active Suspension (RAS) first. Haven't got it yet but others have said it should help with bounce under load (as well as axle wrap and wheel hop).
