Tow haul and lock it out of 6th and they do great
I’m in the West and tow a lot of mountain highways
Should b fine I know my 13 fx4 gets better millage than my 14 limited
@Tyler thanks for the advice, I’m going to do that the next I tow…it lives in 5th anyway so I may as well leave it there.
I’m in the mountains and this thing tows like a beast.
3.31 gears?
Nice setup
I have one and just bought a 20’ enclosed trailer will k ow how it pulls soon. Has tow package so we will see
I have a 2016 f150, 3.5 with the 3.31 gears. I pull a 5th wheel with mine and it does really well. There are days I wish I had the longer box, however, overall I’m very pleased! I’ve installed airbags and this spring I’m going to get new 10 ply tires. I towed 3,000 miles this season. I’ve never towed a travel trailer, it seems to handle the 5th wheel well!
@Lucas how heavy is that 5th wheel and how long?
@Matthew 8800 pounds 33 1/2’ long. Pin weight is 1,200.
@Lucas that’s insane how well these can tow!
@Matthew it really is. It’s almost unbelievable. I’ve been on the fence a few times on if I should get a heavy duty, then I tow and I fall in love again. I like how I can get into smaller and tighter spaces with the truck and camper. There have been times where I’ve been inches away from obstacles!
@Matthew what do you tow if I may ask?
@Lucas just Dirtbikes and a Polaris Rzr Turbo
Do you ever pull fairly steep mountain passes ?
@Don no I haven’t yet
@Lucas what is the tow mileage Nice setup.
Like it’s not even there !!! 28’
Close to 8k, towed it up some significant grades, did great once i stopped trying to go 65-70 mph up the grades. Overall mpg was about 13.1. ’15 KR 3.5 with Unleashed tunes 91 tow, 91 perf and 93 perf
Also the 10speed will act different than the 6
’14 3.5L 6 speed, 35″ tires 3:55 gears. 11,000lb Travle trailer. No issue!
I pulled a 5000 lb 29 footer with a 2.7 with 3.31s in the Rockies without a problem
I pull a 5000 lb camper in the mountains in Colorado. 3.5 & 3.31 gears and it does great. Way better than my NA V8 truck did.
I have a 5Star tune and really like the transmission management they did.
What year truck ?
2013
2012 3.5 with no problem. 5000lb trailer empty
3.31 gearing ?
@Don yes
2017 10 speed, 3.31. Pull a 6000# dry 35foot TT. No problems as long as it’s not windy. Crosswinds are certainly noticeable.
Yup
@Joel what part of Idaho?
