Towing

Do you guys think my truck will be fine towing an atv on a trailer. The reason I ask is I have 33" tires and 3.55 gears. I hardly ever tow anything thing so I dont know what to expect.

Unless you're towing your atv with a 26 ft enclosed carhaul that also has 6 other atv's in it, you will be fine. Your typical small trailer for hauling powersports vehicles weighs about 1k lbs. Even if you went with an open flatbed carhaul, thats about 2k lbs. And the atv is, at the most, 700lbs. so at the most you are looking at about 2700lbs, which is well below the tow rating of any f150.

You can tow that with a Ford Escape, lol, you will be fine. I tow a 5000 lb boat and trailer with 35's, and 3.73's and the truck pulls it like a champ.
