Good vid but most people don’t understand payload capacity. You will run out of payload before you reach max tow capacity! At 15% tongue weight with a 5000lb camper that’s 750lbs deducted from payload. Then deduct 500lbs in bed and the driver 200lbs +-. That’s 1450lbs with approximately 300lbs left for passengers.That truck with 1750 payload will be just about maxed with an average family and gear. Nice looking rig!
I have seen my fair share of people with flipped jack-knifed trailers who probably felt they were "safe enough" but over capacity. It's been a year since the post but your math still applies lol
My son, 8 years old, was walking by while I was watching this video and he said, "you have to support these guys, they have a cool truck!" I subscribed!!
This is a video that Ford needs to recommend to everyone with an F150, especially the 21 and 22. You guys spent a lot of time and money making this great video that makes the roads much safer if people learn this. I'm 75 and have towed a lot of trailers cross country with 1/2 ton trucks but never had a system like this. Nice, and much safer. Thx so much
Another subscriber from Labrador, Canada. Nice truck Sam. I’ve ordered my 2021 F-150 and she’ll arrive in August. Can’t wait!! I’ve enjoyed all the videos you guys have put out over the last number of months. Keep em coming boys!
Thank you for this review. I'd be interested in learning more about your decision to go with a V8 after your 2015 Ecoboost. Were there any other reasons for the switch back to the old-school V8 besides "it sounds better"? I like the idea of Ecoboost's better mileage, but really am drawn to the V8's proven reliability over the long haul.
I subscribed. This is some of the best, smartest, and necessary information every single person should know and research BEFORE buying/hauling any trailer. Well done!!!!
I found out the hard way about the towing capacity of a 2019 F150 Ecoboost... The 13,000 lb capacity is only capable with a weight distribution system and without it, it's rated for 5000 lbs with a 500 lb tongue weight. Look up the towing guides on these vehicles and look closely at around some of the last pages where they have this information.
Would love to see the camera setup. I have that harness sitting here trying to figure out what to do with it!! I bought the 2021 Lariat Powerboost hoping the torque of the hybrid system would help my fuel mileage while towing my enclosed BBQ trailer. NOPE! Im getting 23-28mpg around town, still only about 9-10mpg on the hwy pulling the trailer.
I subscribed because I bleed Ford Blue! 7 mustangs, 1 Expedition, 3 Explorers, and 1 2021 Badlands Bronco to prove it!!! Just found you guys recently, when trying to show my wife what color I chose for my 2021 Bronco (Carbonite Gray)...looks great on a gas can...JS I binged the heck out of the channel!
Subscribed just a couple weeks ago, red light runner totaled my Tacoma trdor and decided to get the 21 f150 from watching y’all’s videos. Couple days ago got my rapid red fx4 lariat with the 5.0 and loving it 👍🏼👍🏼 Came with the chrome package though that needs fixin
I am sorry but you really need the heavy duty payload package it is hard to get for some reason from ford dealers that will put your payload up to about 2880 lbs I can't find one anywhere
I subscribed! I just bought an F-150 Platinum (2021) with the 3.5L TurboBoost and 7.2 kwh Pro Power generator. Those features were really important to me. That generator, in conjunction with the TurboBoost, will allow us to power our trailer if needed. Since the TurboBoost is a hybrid, it doesn't need to be running all the time to power the generator. It cycles the engine on & off as needed to charge the batteries.
I have a 2020 f150 with the 5.0 and 3.55 rear end. I haven’t pulled anything to heavy yet but hopefully will be getting a camper in the future. Enjoyed the video.
Old school guys, love it! I'm about to order a 22; with my 2014 I'd usually leave the door open to watch the ground while backing up that extra inch or three to accurately place the ball under the coupler. Using my mirrors, 8 out of 10 times I'd get the ball within half an inch left and right but fore and aft needed to watch the ground for that final position. I guess I'm going to have to get used to the cameras! Dang, technology sure takes the fun outa learning your skills and pride of accomplishment!
Subscribed. I have an ‘08 Titan. Supposed to tow around 9k. Bought a 33’ camper, weighed somewhere around 6k empty, so add your weight of stuff in the camper:). I changed the tires to “E” rated tires which completely made the truck tow better with much less wiggle in the truck itself. FYI. :).
Thanks so much for doing these vids guys, I live in Canada and just bought and F150 xlt space white to replace my Silverado rally 1, not only do I get to see the true color in real everyday light but also the hitch and shock system you have installed. Never had a Ford truck before but im looking forward to my factory order, might be a few more months before I get mine.
Man what a great video guys! Super detailed and high quality. I’ve been looking for content just like this for my truck build. I have a ‘16 F150 with the 3.5 and max tow and I’ll be pulling a camper very similar to yours. Keep up the good work!
I subscribe, just bought the same 2021 lariat in space white with many same features as Sams. had the same question about the color but it grew on me,love it now. your program is great for me to watch,very informative thanks guys
Newly subscribed, very appreciative of the great towing information you provided & the emphasis on tow safety. We're in the market for a new truck & RV in the next year or two & the new F150 is ticking a lot of boxes as far as all the helpful tech that will make towing safer & easier for us
Love the color on the f-150 😎it's a cool truck 👍 i enjoy watching your videos 👍 keep up the good work guys 😃 have a great weekend ☀️🌳hi from Denmark 🇩🇰
Newbie F150 limited ecoboost here. Thanks for the Golden nuggets. I plan on renting RVs as I am new to this. Getting the F150 ready for this with your information is appreciated. Takeaway; lifting bags and distribution system.
Subscribed! I actually live in Lenoir City and have been on the fence for pulling the trigger on these shocks for my 2020 RAM 1500. My wife and I are also really considering a travel trailer and these stocks seem to be the answer to some concerns I had. Thank you for the detailed review and video of them under load and doing what they are meant to do. That was the deciding factor for me. Thanks guys! Eli A.
Just got a new 1500 Ram to tow around 6500 lbs loaded rv. Wish I had went 3/4 ton, just to squishy even though the hemi and 3.92 axle ratio are great. Using recurve 3 EQ hitch with enough tension to actually have the trailer riding slightly high on the tongue.
They make Falcon shocks for your truck as well. They would make a huge difference towing your camper. Here is a link to the website. www.falconshocks.com/
I subscribed 3 months ago when I watched the video of the wolf great videos thank you I love my 2020 F150 XLT sport with the max tow package. 302 engine 373 rear end gears for towing. Thank you from Minnesota
Good video Guys. I ordered a 2021 F150 on Feb., 11, 2021, still waiting for it to come in . The latest info I can find on the site the dealer gave me to track it, says delivery date, May, 18, 2021. My dealer is not to optimistic on that date. This will be my third F150 XLT 5.0 two wheel drive, had a 2011, now have a 2015. My 2015 has 87,000 miles, only trading because did not want to hit 100k for resale value. This truck I ordered the Max Tow packages also, 20 inch tires, 36 gal fuel, . I tow a small bass boat on a regular basis, but may be getting a Travel Trailer in the near future, that is why I opted for Max Tow glad to finally see a video with a truck that actually had the same options. Most dealers show you the “tow package” on the window sticker, and tell you you can tow anything out there!? Keep up the videos guys, can’t wait until mine gets here, Have a trip to Wyoming planned in mid June.
I have subscribed back in the days already!! 🥳🍷⚡😂😂 Channel is great for the F150. Tuned in from France Occitanie where we love pick ups and Ford, as it is by the seaside, mountains, hills, garrigue (local baja+ the rocks😂) people enjoy their truck to work, load, haul, tow, take family and dogs out! As you know miss size trucks. Although roads are wide enough in the south of France to enjoy a full size like the F150. Except parking downtown 🙄😃
Show me the camera want to see how that works I just got 21 f150 so I’m still learning everything about it I got the lariat with the 502 high package and love your videos
I subscribed. Please let your viewers know that the trailer tongue weight directly contributes to vehicle payload totals. Thank you and great information in your video .
They're not terrible with a 21-ft trailer. I kind of have a feel for how long I am and can manage changing lanes pretty easily. For really long trips the towing mirrors would be nice though. I just can't get down with how they look or I would probably have a set. If I do any long trips I may find a clip-on option that works.
We used to have a 32ft trailer the weighed over 10k when loaded, my dad pulled it with his bone stock 2016 5.0, it pulled it extremely well. The only issue was the weight distribution hitch from eaz lift, the lift bars would fall off every time you turned, one time they smashed the asphalt when turning, he basically needed to completely unhook and do the whole thing over. He ended up just never using them. Before that he pulled a 34ft trailer that weighed 12k with a bone stock 2011 Nissan Armada. My Grandpa pulled a 25 ft power catamaran with 250 gallons of gasoline and 2 225 hp Yamaha motors. Weighing probably double the towing capacity with his bone stock 2005 Ram 1500. They would also pull multiple boats simultaneously with a 1992 F150 4.9 I6 and a 1997 Ram 1500 5.7 Magnum. They’d spend days on the interstate, from Michigan to Alabama, to Florida, back north and so on. I think it was fine because it wasn’t for commercial use, as far as I’m concerned DOT does not care unless you are obviously incredibly overloaded. I could be wrong but they don’t make you stop at scales and such either. If you’re towing a 30ft fifth wheel with a Ford Ranger they’ll get you.
Subscribed! Id like to see that 2021 with a 9klbs dry weight camper behind it. Looks like good content and all the fords made me say ok, im subscribing! The camper is a bonus. I tow a 2020 jayco jayflight slx with an 08 superduty. I have towed the same camper with an 01 suburban and it actually did well until a trip to the alleghany mountains! It made the trip but it was cryin going up the mountains. Stayed above 50 at all times but i had that white knuckle action goin on that trip! Not because of sway or suspension because its bagged..but the power and torque wasnt there. The twin turbo 6.4l is another monster and so far i love it. Upgraded to rancho 8 way adjustable on all 4 corners. Ive only had them on 1 setting. The next trip will be changed twice...one setting on the way and a different setting on the return ride. Keep up the good content fellas. Safe towing
You got me loving the space white so much that I ordered a new f150 in the space white yesterday. Torn between the max tow and trailer tow package tho.
I tow a boat and the auto break is great at the boat launch. If you watch boat launch fails there are many vehicles that end up in the water. There’s no more sticker on a 21 , you have to hook up the sensor and it was pretty easy to calibrate it
Great video! One recommendation I'd have is to cross your chains when towing. other than that, thanks for putting out such great video. I'll be looking at those Falcons for my 2019 for sure!
Thanks for watching Felipe. My chains can't be crossed. They attach in the center and come from a single point. The only way you can cross your chains is when they are attached that two different points. Crossing mine would only cross one link right where they are attached.
I really messed up . I bought a 27ft Canyon Cat by Palomino with a super slide and my f150(5.4) is taxed! I will need to upgrade on truck size for sure!
would you consider the continuous dampening shocks from the factory as a add on along with the built in scales from the factory? im trying to decide before i order my next truck.
great video.....i just bought a new F150 Lariat 2021 while i wait patiently for my Bronco order.....this new F150 has the 3.5 eco boost. i have always had the 5.0L. i believe the 3.5 has some pretty good towing capability as well.
You should add the Falcon to the description to get more views? Do the shocks make the daily, unladen ride softer? I want to upgrade and a nice luxury ride for daily driving is the main reason. It’d be nice to have that plus the added capability of the towing without adding air bags.
The Falcon shocks are a little stiffer than the factory shocks. The factory ride is pretty cush but these make the suspension rebound quite a bit faster and with more power. They ride as much softer off road but can feel a little stiffer on the highway. That being said, don't buy them for the cushy ride.
@@BackroadDriver thanks for the reply, that’s very cool of you. I was more suggesting a new video review and detailed explanation of the shocks as an idea for a new video. That’ll get you views for anyone searching for information on the Falcon shocks. It’s extremely nice that you personally answered the question, though. Kudos, I subscribed the day Mitchell Watts all 6’3” of him had you on the TC channel. I watch and like and comment on every video to help you guys get that 1,000,000 subscriber! Selling my Fords because we don’t have any good dealers locally and going Toyota. I’ll have to live vicariously through you to get my Ford Fanboy Fill!
Thanks for checking us out Scotty. Here is a link to all the mods on Sam’s truck. From that video you can link to individual mod videos. We have entire video on just the wheels and tires. ruclips.net/video/gOgU5Js2DG0/видео.html
My 2016 F150 had the trailer memory with mileage information and It would also test the trailer lights. It looks like they built on that even more on the 2021 model year.
Things may have changed in the last few years with package contents, but when I looked up the ratings in my '19 owners manual, it kept saying like 14,000 lbs for the 5.0l 4x4 with towing options. But you had to look at the last page small print to see that was only with the Heavy Duty Suspension option as well. Else it was only 9000 lbs. 5000lbs with no options. HDS included bigger springs front and rear, shocks and roll bar. This setup was near impossible to find at dealers, you had to know you needed it and special order it. My '97 came with this, along with a larger radiator, engine oil and tranny coolers and 120a alternator.
Great video indeed. Can’t argue with anything you said. However, I tow at high elevation, so I had to go with the Ecoboost. That excellent Coyote engine runs out of air at 8000 ft above sea level. Just subscribed.
Not sure if you mentioned it on the video, but what model and packages do you have on this truck? If you don't mind throwing price paid as a cherry on top, that would be great. The truck is solid. You have the first new generation F150 that catches my eye. It is extremely clean with those tints and wheels/tire combo.
I got the same, 2021 F150 Super crew max trailer tow package 5.0L with a Magna force before axle side exit exhaust. So total towing is 13,000 lbs and i have tested with a trailer weighing in at 11,000lbs with bed full and four people without any issues at all. Was a little pain to set up the pro trailer and the mounting of the trailer sway sensor.
ive got the 2015 f150 3.5 ecoboost....tows hella badass....i didnt get the massive trailer, i got a single axle springdale rugged terrain, its almost a perfect combo!
subscribed! I love your guys' stuff. this is an awesome video because I am torn between the 3.5 eco and the 5.0. I'd be towing a boat that altogether with engines, fuel, and trailer weighs about 7,000 pounds. I love the sound of the v8 but wanted to know your opinion. What RPMs does the 5.0 with the 3.73 hit on those hills in Tennessee? I'd be in similar country. look forward to the next video.
Subscribed. Waiting on our 2021 Lariat, 3.5ltr max tow package. Our trailer is quite a bit larger than yours but still shouldn't have an issue. What all have you done to your truck this far for towing. Was thinking of airbags but those Falcons look interesting
I’m ordering this truck tomorrow and came across your videos; they are helping me so much!! I’m going full time RV later so this is so nice 👍🏻
Glad we could help!
Awesome, I have an F150 and I'm looking at campers too, the tent thing is getting old, lol.

The production quality of this was quite surprising! Well done guys!
Thanks man! We are working hard.
@BackroadDriver did you have any issues with the rear hub bolt snapping on the max tow axle?
"I know that the echo boost is probably a better towing engine, but it doesn't sound like a V8"
Amen to that 👍
Great, you can be loud in the back of the pack! I'd rather have the better towing motor than the better sounding motor
"when you add me and Sam to that it's another 150 maybe 175." lol insert eye roll here. :):):)
I’m glad someone caught that!

I am sorry but you really need the heavy duty payload package it is hard to get for some reason from ford dealers that will put your payload up to about 2880 lbs I can't find one anywhere
Right. The hot ticket is the max trailer and heavy duty payload package (hpp).
The payload package is on the XL’s only.
I subscribed! I just bought an F-150 Platinum (2021) with the 3.5L TurboBoost and 7.2 kwh Pro Power generator. Those features were really important to me. That generator, in conjunction with the TurboBoost, will allow us to power our trailer if needed. Since the TurboBoost is a hybrid, it doesn't need to be running all the time to power the generator. It cycles the engine on & off as needed to charge the batteries.
Didn’t cross the safety chains? Sam’s a buck seventy-five? 🙂

"a buck 50, a buck 75" - funny. I've been subscribed
We might be closer to 180...
I subscribed out here in Indiana!!! I have a 2023 f150 with the 3.5 eco and thinking of buying a camper, youve encouraged me!.
We used to have a 32ft trailer the weighed over 10k when loaded, my dad pulled it with his bone stock 2016 5.0, it pulled it extremely well. The only issue was the weight distribution hitch from eaz lift, the lift bars would fall off every time you turned, one time they smashed the asphalt when turning, he basically needed to completely unhook and do the whole thing over. He ended up just never using them. Before that he pulled a 34ft trailer that weighed 12k with a bone stock 2011 Nissan Armada. My Grandpa pulled a 25 ft power catamaran with 250 gallons of gasoline and 2 225 hp Yamaha motors. Weighing probably double the towing capacity with his bone stock 2005 Ram 1500. They would also pull multiple boats simultaneously with a 1992 F150 4.9 I6 and a 1997 Ram 1500 5.7 Magnum. They’d spend days on the interstate, from Michigan to Alabama, to Florida, back north and so on. I think it was fine because it wasn’t for commercial use, as far as I’m concerned DOT does not care unless you are obviously incredibly overloaded. I could be wrong but they don’t make you stop at scales and such either. If you’re towing a 30ft fifth wheel with a Ford Ranger they’ll get you.
Subscribed! Id like to see that 2021 with a 9klbs dry weight camper behind it. Looks like good content and all the fords made me say ok, im subscribing! The camper is a bonus. I tow a 2020 jayco jayflight slx with an 08 superduty. I have towed the same camper with an 01 suburban and it actually did well until a trip to the alleghany mountains! It made the trip but it was cryin going up the mountains. Stayed above 50 at all times but i had that white knuckle action goin on that trip! Not because of sway or suspension because its bagged..but the power and torque wasnt there. The twin turbo 6.4l is another monster and so far i love it. Upgraded to rancho 8 way adjustable on all 4 corners. Ive only had them on 1 setting. The next trip will be changed twice...one setting on the way and a different setting on the return ride. Keep up the good content fellas. Safe towing
Thanks Joseph! Glad to have you along for the ride!
I Subscribed! That’s a beautiful truck and sounds AMAZING! Just bought a 2023 Powerboost and loving it!
Thanks Frankie!
I subscribed. Been watching from the beginning while waiting for my truck. 302A Lead foot 5.0. Thanks for the info!
I subscribed a few weeks ago. Great videos guys. keep em coming
Appreciate it Lorenzo!
You got me loving the space white so much that I ordered a new f150 in the space white yesterday. Torn between the max tow and trailer tow package tho.
Max tow comes with tranny cooler
I tow a boat and the auto break is great at the boat launch. If you watch boat launch fails there are many vehicles that end up in the water. There’s no more sticker on a 21 , you have to hook up the sensor and it was pretty easy to calibrate it
You're right Len. It is a great safety feature to have. I just haven't gotten used to it yet. Thanks for watching!
Great video! One recommendation I'd have is to cross your chains when towing. other than that, thanks for putting out such great video. I'll be looking at those Falcons for my 2019 for sure!
Thanks for watching Felipe. My chains can't be crossed. They attach in the center and come from a single point. The only way you can cross your chains is when they are attached that two different points. Crossing mine would only cross one link right where they are attached.
I have the same Falcons on my 2020 F150 Lariat. Love ‘em! Love your channel as well (yeah, I’ve subscribed!).
Thanks for the sub Daniel! Do you agree it rides great?
On the build plans for my 15 Lariat I have the falcons on the list. I’m not sure when it will happen but I haven’t heard anything bad yet.
@@BackroadDriver Falcons are amazing. Definitely worth the $$
Those shocks are sick
Subscriber! Thanks for all those awesome updates and videos
Thanks Dewayne! We appreciate it!
I really messed up . I bought a 27ft Canyon Cat by Palomino with a super slide and my f150(5.4) is taxed! I will need to upgrade on truck size for sure!
One of the best real world test. 👍👍👍
would you consider the continuous dampening shocks from the factory as a add on along with the built in scales from the factory? im trying to decide before i order my next truck.
Your videos are always a pleasure to watch fellas. Wait, cattywomp [spelling]?
That sounds about right. Thanks for watching Rico!
@@BackroadDriver good news fellas, dealer called to tell me my 2021 F150 Lariat (Space White) came in today.
Great Video! I have a Velocity Blue 21 Fx4 Lariat and I would Love to see the installation of the trailer camera and how it works. Please. Thanks!
Thanks Jose. We're working on it!
@@BackroadDriver thank you so much!
great video.....i just bought a new F150 Lariat 2021 while i wait patiently for my Bronco order.....this new F150 has the 3.5 eco boost. i have always had the 5.0L. i believe the 3.5 has some pretty good towing capability as well.
It is stout!
Great video guys, that space white is growing on me..😎
I subscribed.
I also ordered the same truck, but in Iconic Silver. Still waitin.
You should add the Falcon to the description to get more views? Do the shocks make the daily, unladen ride softer? I want to upgrade and a nice luxury ride for daily driving is the main reason. It’d be nice to have that plus the added capability of the towing without adding air bags.
The Falcon shocks are a little stiffer than the factory shocks. The factory ride is pretty cush but these make the suspension rebound quite a bit faster and with more power. They ride as much softer off road but can feel a little stiffer on the highway. That being said, don't buy them for the cushy ride.
@@BackroadDriver thanks for the reply, that’s very cool of you. I was more suggesting a new video review and detailed explanation of the shocks as an idea for a new video. That’ll get you views for anyone searching for information on the Falcon shocks. It’s extremely nice that you personally answered the question, though. Kudos, I subscribed the day Mitchell Watts all 6’3” of him had you on the TC channel. I watch and like and comment on every video to help you guys get that 1,000,000 subscriber! Selling my Fords because we don’t have any good dealers locally and going Toyota. I’ll have to live vicariously through you to get my Ford Fanboy Fill!
What kind of wheels and tires are those WOW they look amazing I'm not gonna copy I'm just a poor ol factory worker that likes to dream thanks
Thanks for checking us out Scotty. Here is a link to all the mods on Sam’s truck. From that video you can link to individual mod videos. We have entire video on just the wheels and tires. ruclips.net/video/gOgU5Js2DG0/видео.html
I subscribed Brad and Sam. I see you sometimes driving around in Farragut where i live. I have a 2018 F150. Nice rides y'all have.
Thanks for subbing Keith! We are in Farragut all the time. Honk and wave next time you see us!
@@BackroadDriver will do. Great videos.
Nice truck and sounds super good too 👍
That's some really good advice, I appreciate it brother!
Thanks George!
My 2016 F150 had the trailer memory with mileage information and It would also test the trailer lights. It looks like they built on that even more on the 2021 model year.
I subscribed. I traded my 2017 F150 for the new model in February.
Congrats on the new truck and thanks for subbing Joe!
New subscriber an proud owner of an F150 that hauls bass boats all over. What trim level is that truck? XLT/Lariat etc.. Tks great vid
Things may have changed in the last few years with package contents, but when I looked up the ratings in my '19 owners manual, it kept saying like 14,000 lbs for the 5.0l 4x4 with towing options. But you had to look at the last page small print to see that was only with the Heavy Duty Suspension option as well. Else it was only 9000 lbs. 5000lbs with no options.
HDS included bigger springs front and rear, shocks and roll bar. This setup was near impossible to find at dealers, you had to know you needed it and special order it. My '97 came with this, along with a larger radiator, engine oil and tranny coolers and 120a alternator.
I subscribed. Looking forward a new truck. Love your channel. 👏👏👏
Thanks Alpha Male! Congrats on your new truck! Hope you get it soon.
Great video indeed. Can’t argue with anything you said. However, I tow at high elevation, so I had to go with the Ecoboost. That excellent Coyote engine runs out of air at 8000 ft above sea level. Just subscribed.
Wow your so good at explaining you should’ve been sponsored right there by ford and falcon lol
Show me the camera!
That's a great video 👍
Good job guys 👍👍
We appreciate it! Thanks Mohammed!
Not sure if you mentioned it on the video, but what model and packages do you have on this truck? If you don't mind throwing price paid as a cherry on top, that would be great. The truck is solid. You have the first new generation F150 that catches my eye. It is extremely clean with those tints and wheels/tire combo.
Scroll through this playlist. You'll find all the answers you're looking for. ruclips.net/p/PLWLnOjIIZkiaTGIJrhMbQNBeSVH6MTkyB
what a great video, excellent presentation. Thank you. What size tires/wheels do you have?
I got the same, 2021 F150 Super crew max trailer tow package 5.0L with a Magna force before axle side exit exhaust. So total towing is 13,000 lbs and i have tested with a trailer weighing in at 11,000lbs with bed full and four people without any issues at all. Was a little pain to set up the pro trailer and the mounting of the trailer sway sensor.
Sub'd... started recognizing the roads you were on, live literally a stones throw from you.
I'm a subscriber. Thank you for your videos.
That's awesome Wo! Thanks for watching!
Subscribed - looking forward to seeing your video on Roadmaster Active Suspension. I'm installing mine next week on 2015 F150
Thanks guys im just getting into this ✌️
ive got the 2015 f150 3.5 ecoboost....tows hella badass....i didnt get the massive trailer, i got a single axle springdale rugged terrain, its almost a perfect combo!
I subscribed. Excellent info regarding tow capacities, Thanks
More on the way!
I subscribed, love content lots of good info, but torn between getting F-150 with the 5.0 versus F-250 with the 7.3
get the f250 with the 7.3
Thanks for subbing! If you are towing heavy consider the 250.
subscribed! I love your guys' stuff. this is an awesome video because I am torn between the 3.5 eco and the 5.0. I'd be towing a boat that altogether with engines, fuel, and trailer weighs about 7,000 pounds. I love the sound of the v8 but wanted to know your opinion. What RPMs does the 5.0 with the 3.73 hit on those hills in Tennessee? I'd be in similar country. look forward to the next video.
Thanks for subbing Zach! I will get Sam to answer on the RPM’s.
Take a look at the diesel 3.0L powerstroke. I can tell you you will be in single digits mpg towing with the 3.5L eco.
Subscribed. Love the Ford content.
Thanks Michael!

Waiting on our 2021 Lariat, 3.5ltr max tow package. Our trailer is quite a bit larger than yours but still shouldn't have an issue.
What all have you done to your truck this far for towing. Was thinking of airbags but those Falcons look interesting
We just filmed another towing video today. Added a bee part. Should be out Saturday.
