How much pull?
Hi, I have a 95 F-150, 5.0, Automatic w/ Overdrive, 2wd. My question is will I be able to pull a 7x14 enclosed trailer carrying 2 lawnmowers? That is a lot of weight and I do not know if the F-150 has enough torque to get it going and more importantly, can it stop all that weight.
Right now, I have a 6x10 open trailer, and it pulls it just fine.
Any suggestions are helpful.

what kinds of mowers are we talking about walk behind or riders? either way with a 7x 14 trailer i dont think that is to much for the f 150, although i bet your gonna wish you had the 300 i6 in it. thats one tourquey motor. i pulled around load of logs,leaves,mowers and equipment for 1 year with an 87 s-10 w/275000 miles on it original 2.8 v6 motor and auto tranny and it suvived.
i still drive it to this day. those s-10's 82-93 are some damn tough small little trucks. they just go forever.
