Hey treatcg, you don't need to use ramps do you?

 

I pulled a Honda Prelude home from Clarksville, TN last night (150 miles) with no problems whatsoever even with the lift and 37's.

 

Here's what I tow with mine. [IMG][/IMG]

 

I don't need to but I usually do. They are built into my trailer and just slide out so it isn't that big of deal. Sometimes when I unload it, I just back off.

 

I pull our 21ft weekend warrior completely loaded with bike, fuel and water and another bike in the bed of my truck with no problems at all. Once i hit a grade though i have to keep my momentum otherwise i slow to about 45 and then it just cruzes up the hill. The grapevine is a little hard on it but its only for a little while. Here is a pic of what i pull.

 

Do you have any other picures of that F150 pulling that WW?

BTW, in the driveway, how come there is a perfectly good 3/4-ton truck that looks like it would pull that better then the F150?

 

Are you kidding? That looks like a GM truck to me!

 

That IS a GM truck. They pull worse than the Ford.

I dont even see Duramax logos on the door which means its probably a 1500 Crew Cab with the 4.8L (smooth move there GM).

Sorry, not a huge fan of GM.

 

Hey 05F150...you have bags on your truck or any aftermarket load helpers on the rear? My truck seems to sag easy when towing my 12ft utility trailer with 3 quads on it.

 

 

HAHA guys. No its a 2500HD in the driveway and it has the 6.0L in it. It pulls awesome. Its not mine though its my pops truck.

04procomp-No i dont have bags in the back. All i have is the pro comp spacer. Ill attach a further picture so you can see the sag.

Heres the pic of it pulling it from a distance its a small pic but you can see how it squats in the back.

 

My 2004 5.4L 4X4 pulls this 35ft 7600lb with out any problems. It slows down to around 45 going up a grade, but with 5 people in the truck and a fully loaded trailer I can live with that. Sorry for the large pic, but I'm traveling and don't have my editing software available.

 

Sorry for bringing an old thread back, but I'm curious what you guys are getting for mileage while towing these things.

 

Speaking of sag, if you have a properly adjusted weight-distribution hitch, there should be almost no sag at all. Ideally, the front and rear will squat the same amount (again, if adjusted correctly).

Also, be aware that toy haulers typically weigh substancially more than a standard travel trailer. Even so, a toy hauler will usually push or exceed the limits of the RAWR because of the high tongue weights on toy haulers. That is, unless you go with a small one.

I tow a 35" travel trailer that weighs about 7300 lbs when fully loaded. It does well, considering the F150 is a 1/2 ton truck. In fact, I think it does very well considering that!

PS - Old thread!

 

I get 9 - 10 MPG while towing our travel trailer.
