I have a 2013 F150 Super Cab 3.5l V6 Ecoboost with Max tow package. I have the 3.73 gears, Tram cooler, Brake controllers, backup alarm, backup camers class IV hitch, EZ sway bars, built in sway comtrol, elocker, larger extendable mirrors. Tonneau cover, It will be just myself and wife - both retired (In our late 60's) who enjoy camping. Our trips will be in Georgia, Al., Fl.,



Has anyone towed a 32 ft. Dry wieght# 6142 and GVW #7730 with Max tow package and 3.5 V6 Ecoboost. I would like some input before I purchase a new Travel Trailer. The yellow door sticker on the truck shows 2065 Gross weight.


Thanks
George

As long as your payload (yellow door sticker) can accommodate the potential 1160lbs tongue weight and passengers and gear, in short- you should be just fine. You didn't mention a trim... the higher trims have a heavier load of options which can eat away at the nanny sticker real quickly, also gear ratio. Does max tow automatically include 3.73's? Even 3.55's would be OK I think, just not as nice as 3.73's. With that length- make sure you have a decent hitch with sway control so the wind doesn't turn it into a sail

Enjoy the TT!

You will be fine with that weight. At that length though if you live in a windy are you may feel the truck being pushed a bit by side winds more so than a heavier one ton would.

Like smurf says, watch your payload, but also watch your rear Gross Axle Weight Rating.

I tow a 7500# 28' trailer and am a couple hundred # below my 2050# payload. But initially I exceeded my rear GAWR by 130#.

My initial tongue weight was over 15%, 1140#, but I've reduced that since then, and tightened up my WDH, and now, hopefully, I'm under the rear GAWR.

As for sway, with a high tongue weight (say 15%) and a WDH with good sway control, you shouldn't have any troubles.

A vist to the local scales with your fully loaded rig will help identify any problems.

I tow a 32' Keystone Passport with my Ecoboost with 3.55 gears. Empty TT weight is around 6100# and GCVWR on a scale was around 13,500# with the whole family and all our 'stuff'. Tows great, fuel economy sucks but you have to pay a little to play a little.

After all the standard setup and weight distribution hitch considerations, I recommend upgrading to LT tires on your truck. It will greatly improve your ride while towing.

By the way I am in Georgia and tow all around the southeast.
