F150 Towing Pics Thread
I have a 1995 F150 Flareside that I'd like to use for some towing.
I've found a bunch of F250/F350 pics and ones for newer F150's, but I haven't seen many 1987-1996 F150 towing pics.
So, what do you tow with your 1987-1995 F150? And, how did it turn out for you?

my heaviest load was 10,000 pounds of wood, on 4000 ish pound trailer. didnt do terrible, but wouldnt do that much again. took all back road gravel so i could run 45mph without others riding me.

after i did it i dont think i would do it again either, it was deceptive because the way the trailer is set up with the axles there isnt as much tongue weight as normal, me not knowing that yet said she isnt sagging put some more on until it was just about touching the overloads, then discovered how much was back there when i hit the brakes, but luckily i was on gravel so it wasnt a problem (as in no panic stops or other people for that matter)

What the...
I'm assuming that's a Massey 540? According to my brochure, that thing should be about 14,000# with the head! I wouldn't tow that much with anything less than an F350 Dually! I assume that you modified that F150 a bit- either that, or your springs were good!
How far did you move it?
