What a Truck!!!
Hauled a Big Skid Steer on a 20' construction trailer with 06 F-250 4x4 5.4L with SuperChips Tuner set on Tow Tune. Not sure of the weight but my buddy says 15,000lbs NO PROBLEM What a Truck Probably 6,000lbs overloaded and it did it with ease. FORD RULES

At least that's what the V-10 and PSD guys will tell you.

Yeah if you towed like that everyday I would agree but the 5.4 is adequate to do it once in awhile. It pulls my 30' Fifth Wheel even easier so I know this load was heavier than my 5er. I had a 2000 F350 7.3 and that pulls whatever you hook to it kind of wish I still had it but did not want to fill it anymore with the $$$ of #2.

I hear ya.. I towed a 34' Montana Fifth Wheel trailer today for Work. Weighed 11,660. My 02, with the 2V 5.4 and 3.73's is rated at 7,100 pounds. I wasn't worried about it at all, like it was not even breating hard. Slow and steady!
