Thumbs up 5.0 Towing Machine ....

Just wanted to reassure those questioning the towing capability and stability of the 5.0 platform... Its not a Diesel dually but does dam fine with a load behind it. The tranny gear ratio, the tow haul mode and the engine design really do wonders for a 302 lil V8.....
Heres some towing pics over the past 3 years with the Lariat 5.0 in action ... That last one in my signature pic was a heavy dog 76' Highboy !

I've towed a bunch of heavy stuff with my 5.0 also, with no problems at all

I've hauled my 67 F100 across the nation several times with my 5.0L. Truck does it fine.
