Cool Trailer Towing

I Just Purchaced a fifth wheel camper, 2005 dutchman ,dry weight of 7000# gvw 11500#. I live 200 miles from the dealer, on the uneven and hilly highways of northern mn , the f-150 pulled like a tropper, out of overdrive 60mph 2200rpm shifted to 3500-3800rpm once in a while on longer grades. No mods to the truck 3:55 gr/ls rearend fx4 5.4l- true blue 9600miles since nov 03.

Sounds like a sweet setup, I hope to be towing one of those babies within the next month.

I hate to but in, I had a great experiance this past weekend trailering my nova for about 250 miles.. The truck did really good to the point, I forgot I was towing something. I cought myself doing 85 and not realizing I was towing something. The truck was still really queit and good power
The point is that I towed my car with a 94 full-size blazer and even a 2003 z-71 and this truck did much,much better..
