So Ford got you a super duty loaner to get home and you’ll have to go back and pick it up after repairs?

Does this mean rebuild your engine or a brand new crate engine?

OH heck no.... they have me a max tow F150.
went and purchase an 800$ distribution hitch.
towing the trailer with it. 😂😂😂
Kinda surprised the little ecoboost is almost like a mini diesel. It’s pulling like a champ however the truck does no like the weight.
Taking it easy trying to stay around 55.
overloaded yes dangerous maybe.
I’ve towed a lot and I mean a lot for not being a professional driver. I feel pretty confident but man this little F150 blows my mind!
I scaled it I’m 50lbs of max rear axle.

From what the service person said I’m not getting a rebuilt engine but a new engine.
In normal circumstances I would get a reman long block. However for some reason Ford is being cool so a crate will be available before they can get a reman that has a longer lead time. So thank you covid!

I have an f150 3.5 ecoboost pulling my 7500 lb 5th wheel and I completely agree. The power train is impressive as hell but the suspension just can't handle it. I've got a 6.7 F350 on order.

I towed 15k once with a early model max tow f150 with 3.73 gears, had the power but thought it would have a mealt down if too long.

It was one of our fellow super mods truck at the time.

It was impressive.

Glad to hear that you are being taken care of. With air bags the f150s are very capable. I have both and use the 150 alot for towing and for 10k and under it does a fine job. Cj
