Yes this is where people get in BIG TROUBLE! They listen to writers like that and the salesman who sold them a trailer that is twice the weight what their vechicle can tow. If they follow that writers ideas then the money they spend they could buy a new vechicle equiped to tow what they want. I only listen to salesmen when they tell me the price of the RV, nothing else they say. They will tell you anything you want to hear only to make a sale to your money into their pocket. All you have to do is look at what is going down the freeway on any given Saturday and you will see midsize SUV towing a 24-30 ft trailer😳. I just shake my head and drive on, the wife asks me are they crazy! I seen too many accidents trailer pushes suv into crash. I’ll keep my super duty and tow my 28ft and feel safe and comfortable.
They finally got to the 2 most important and factual points like 3/4 of the way down, after all the false information. Get a bigger tow vehicle or a smaller trailer. The rest of that article is just garbage.
The auto industry is prone to sell its integrity for promotional hype. I was told by the dealer who sold me a 2016 F150 EB that I could tow up to 11,800 lbs- and the table for the max tow package “proved it.” However, 4,000 mi later, hauling a 10,000# TT (8800 dry) the rear end went out. The service manager defined it as “overloaded”. Keep in mind I always towed tanks empty and only my wife and I in the truck. Tongue weight was under 1100# with an equalizer WD hitch. Then they quietly told me “better keep it about 2000# under what the table says! Anyway - learned my lesson. Driving an F250, 6.7L. Tremendous difference.
PS: The 3.5L EB had plenty of power - it was the suspension and differential that wasn’t up to the task.
PPS: I loved my F150 and hated to get rid of it!!
