First Time pulling
Well, today was my first time pulling a trailer since I got my truck. (F-250 Lariat). Hopefully I didn't work it too hard.
Looking forward to when I get my travel trailer, and get to put a real load behind it.

Nice rig. I like how you got a little extra tongue weight with the rider.

Lol. The saying goes "man, I don't know if you've got enough truck for that load!"
hurry up and get a camper that weighs at least 9,000.

You need an F450 for a crazy heavy load like that!

I don't know Bruce - are you sure a F450 will do it. I'm thinking F650...

I used to pull a trailer loaded like that with a Geo Storm... and then later with a 1990 Mustang.

Great looking truck. Bet you didn't know trailer was there.
you will be getting a larger trailer someday. We went from a single axle travel trailer 30 years ago, to the monster we have now. Never hurts to have tooooo much power.

Might want to use 4 lo to get that load moving, lol.
Really, when you load it up it will drive the same as unloaded so be careful of your speed.

I agree with the speed comment. Caught myself going 80 a few times while towing and I didn't realize it. Maybe that's why the ST tires didn't hold up hummmm.
