Does anyone tow with a travel trailer with the 3.5 and 3.31 gears? How does it do pulling wise?

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?
