The trailer is 2 5/16 and I use a Equal-I-zer brand weight distribution hitch from Progress Manufacturing. Here's a pic of it hooked up to the trailer.

For anyone interested, I put my (unloaded) 6.2 on the scale while we were there. With me and Steve (Dim Sum) in the truck and just over a half tank of gas, it came in at 8060.
I figured with just me and a full tank, the truck would be just shy of 8k. |

Matt I beleive you have the 2011 F350 - 6.2L V8, 4.30s. I have a 2011 F250 6.2L with 3.73. I was curious how much rear end squat you got from that load. I pulled a trailer and bobcat early spring figured to be maybe 10,300 which I was surprised the amount of squat. Truck had plent of get up and go so wanted to hear about your expereince.

Another thing to keep in mind we used a weight distribution hitch. |

edit - d'oh, Mike beat me to it. |
I'm definately looking forward to the next one, and planning on being there! Hopefully I'll catch wind more than a day in advance...
I know some folks in Glenmont; School is 120 miles from Millersburg, and Home is 140, so the trip should be feasable, considering the trip from home to college is 200... I'd like to see what my V10 does, compared to some of the newer trucks, and Diesels. |
A manual v-10 in comparision with mikes 4R100 v-10 would be very interestin.
But we need a ecoboost and a 3v V10! On a better note, my truck was always haven cold start issues and had a slight miss when ever the oil temp was under 180 degrees. Once it was over 180, it ran good (besides the lag lmao) Funny thing is, i started my truck monday morning at 7 am which was the morning after the meet and the truck started amazing! No miss, no cold start, had power while running under 180 degrees oil temp.. Looks like beatin the crap outta my truck at the meet fixed that issue :). hahaha and its still runnin great when the oil temps under 180. And its been two days so far after the meet |
