We just picked this 36 foot Fun Finder toy hauler from Muskegon MI. Made a pretty fun road trip out of it. I looked and researched quite a bit before getting this one. XT-330 is their brand new model they just came out with. Ecoboost pulled it just fine, barely got out of 6th gear only when driving thru the hills. Fuel Consumption was pretty bad, about 7.5 mpg and going around 65 mph.

It is quite an upgrade from our old setup (7x16 enclosed trailer) we use for motorcycle track days. Our old enclosed trailer was fully insulated with ac/heat, we had a blow up mattress in it and used it to sleep over night at the race tracks, but it was very limited for living in it.

Old Setup:

7X14 Freedom trailer



New Setup:
At the dealer, getting my WD hitch installed (Reese strait line )





At my storage parking slip



10 foot garage with a slidding screen door

Great setup, What kind of toy will you be hauling? I have been looking at the FunFinder 30' but the extra living space would be great. Still trying to see if my 150 could handle the extra length/weight.

Ecoboost sounds like a monster. That being said, I think you would be best to just lock it out of 6th gear. Save your transmission. it's not like it would hurt the MPGs any.
Dang, 10k-14k Lb. pulls. Brutal break in for your truck!

With my truck, it actually gets better mileage locked out of 6th, I have tow/haul on lock out 6th. It keeps the turbos spooled up a bit better, I would say prob a 3-5 mpg diff. In 6th is seems to be lugging, speeds are 110 kph.

If your pulling anything I lock out 6 gear!

How do you lock out 6th and use the tow/haul mode? What is the process?

Thanks

I noticed that if I used cruise it consistently wanted to hold one gear lower than if I didn't use it resulting in worse mph while using cruise.

Not sure if the '11 lariat has the feature now. If you have a +/- on the gear shifter, just hit the - signs so that 6 is no longer visible on the dashboard.

I think I am going to need a new camper after seeing all these nicer ones!
