Glad you made it safely. You must have packed that trailer tight to get it all to fit.

I believe the total weight was between 6000lbs to 6500lbs and i would say i added about 300lbs worth of snow/ice on the top of that and it felt hard on the truck. I wish i had more horse power but overall it was okay. My next truck going to be an F250 but its to early now to think about it. I would like to get 6-10 years out this truck first |
Dragging a 7000lbs 6x12 cargo, trailer and ice build up shouldn't of needed any additional horsepower with a 5.0 with a 3.55 or a 3.73 rear end. Of course it felt a little underpowered compare to being empty. It sounded like you never dragged a trailer this size before. So of course it took a little more pedal pressure and get up,and go the get moving compared to a empty truck driven daily.
You and your truck did just fine. Good job |

I think i am gonna get a trailer and put the f150 up for the challenge. I am just curious on how fast i can go. Because 45mph ain't gonna cut it for me.
On the way from Maryland to Georgia, at about 55 mph, a truck dropped an extension ladder in front of us. I locked the brakes and was able to swerve around, and had no problems at all with the trailer. It might have been a 5'x8' or 5'x10', not the two-axle model with the brake activator on the tongue. I was pleased with the way it handled under stress. |
