F150 How much can I really tow????
I own a 2006 F150 4x4 , 144.5 wb, 5.4 liter, 3.55 axle ratio, 17 inch wheels, with Fords trailer tow package. Ford's owners manual and literature says that I can tow a trailer up to 8300 lbs. maximum loaded trailer weight. But I am looking for "real experience" numbers. In other words, someone who has experience towing with this setup or similar. My wife and I are looking into purchasing a travel trailer and we don't want to get something that our truck will not handle adequately and comfortably. I figured that it would be better to find out now before I purchase. Anyone have any suggestions??????
Thank You All
