Thanks, i jumped on this one as soon as i found it. He had it on the market for two days. The 6 hr round trip was worth it.

Second one is my buddies eclipse. Couldn't tell it was there
There's no way you "couldn't tell' that eclipse was there because my truck has to gear down go up hill with a small john deere gator. Also I will be highly surprised if your transmission doesn't grenade next time you put 13k behind your truck. Especially on a bumper hitch.

It didn't act any different with the car than with just trailer. And it'll prolly never have 13k behind it. Especially not with an 8in lift

Towing the ponies to a show. 2 horses + Aluminum Trailer and a 6" lift with 35" tires.
Terrible gas mileage.

^ Terrible gas mileage My 5.4 with 33's get sh#t mileage regardless of towing or just driving so its all good.

Thanks for the pics everyone! I'm looking to lift my next one whether its an ecoboost or not and I wanna know how they tow with the 35"+ tires! Keep em' coming!

5.4 V8 here, too. My enging coils are going out so I only get 10.5 right now. But at the time the picture was taken the engine was functioning properly

Yeah my engine functions properly too and I still don't get much better than 13 regardless of how or where I drive. Where in NC are you located?

03 5.4 with 3.55 gears and 35s, I had a 5" lift on it. off the line she was struggling but once up to speed it wasn't bad. I'm sure if I had big hills it would have been rough but I was driving in jersey so it was kinda flat. A car trailer and del sol then a civic hatch on the way back.
