F150 towing capacity discussion
#32
I was hoping that this truck would get me by until I get my '99 PSD built. It pulled this '64 Pontiac wagon pretty good and I caught myself running 75mph without knowing it. The LWB, 351, with towing package seemed alright. Now the gas mileage is another topic. With 64k miles and COLD a/c, I guess it has a long way to go.

My Centurion has the same powertrain, and with the length of the crew cab frame it tows really nicely. I try to keep my load 6k lbs or less, and she does pretty well. I've also caught myself over the legal limit a couple of times.
Fuel mileage... not to get off track, but the best I've managed is 14 towing, with about a 4k load and a light right foot.
