it may have the horse needed for towing but I don't think the driveline will hold up to it.

No offense, it may tow a bass boat in style but not a fifth wheel and even if you were able to hook it up, not for long safely. A trucks HP means really nothing here. You look to payload and torque mainly. If I were you and seems like you like bells and whistles and bling, look to a Tremor package with payload and torque either in a 7.3 or 6.7.

Good luck.

i would be curious if the suspension, wheels and tires changes end up reducing towing and payload numbers. I couldnt find where towing is mentioned anywhere.

TODAY………….Lets hook that beast to a half ton rated 5th wheel and pull the Davis Dam hill. Put the pedal to the metal and see what the beotch will do!
It is only supposed to hit 115*F in Bullhead City, so it would be a good day for a test.

That's not a TOW vehicle. It's a SHOW vehicle.

The weight police are constantly screaming about the fact that modifications cannot increase towing capacity...only the sticker matters. If that is true, the opposite must be true as well. As long as the original tire and loading sticker is affixed to the door jamb (and I'm sure it is), it is the gospel.

The rest of us understand that that truck was built to go fast and look cool. Mission accomplished. The last thing I would think to do is hitch a trailer to it.

I was joking about towing I know it will be out of pay load just like any F150. I just had never seen or heard of one until I parked next to one earlier this week. I saw Shelby on the rocker panel and did a double take, then I looked at the grille and the 700HP emblem. I thought Shelbey only did the Mustangs.

I had a suspicion you may be. But you never know….lol

I think if anything has a market and money to be made, they will produce it. Supply and demand is more like Demand it and we can Supply it!
