Just wanted to introduce myself. There's really not much to tell. I'm the proud owner of a 2006 F150. I'll post pictures as soon as I can figure out how. I've had the truck for about 3 years. And haven't done much with it. I'm wanting to learn more about it's towing capabilities. It has a 4.6 with a 3.55 gear ratio. I would just look this up in the owner's manual but I can't seem to locate it.

 

Ok It appears to be working.

 

Regular, extended, or crew cab? 2wd or 4wd? Short or long bed?

Somewhere between 6000# and 7000#. However, you will probably exceed the truck's max payload rating before you hit max tow rating.

It's not a particularly good truck to tow with. The truck is heavy and the 4.6 doesn't have much low end torque.

 

Welcome to the site. I grew up in Longview and still have family there.

 

4 door, 2wd short bed. Planning on buying a travel trailer that weighs around 4200 to 4500 pounds.

 

That should be okay, but don't expect much performance. Lock out overdrive when you tow.

4 door short bed as in crew cab with a 5.5' bed? 6300#. I wouldn't exceed 5000# loaded.

 

Ok, Thanks.
