Thats our cut off at my company,10,000 for vans and f150s.


I guess if you set up everything perfect you can do more in a max tow 3.5 eco…


Edit, better off in an F250 above those weights if you tow it often.

I'd bet money that those F150s are the HDDP (heavy duty payload package) that have payloads similar to F250s. Also don't let some ridiculous behaviours of a few sway your thoughts. I'd also bet money most of the ridiculous towings come from people who have leased their truck, they have nothing to lose long term.

well on at least 2 people I know that do it dont have the max towing either so you would lose money on that lol and like I said I wouldnt do it I am still within my specs and sometimes I think Im on thin ice but I only tow a couple times a year and it doesnt warrant a 3/4 ton
