What can my SuperCrew tow?

Hey,

I have a 2001 F150 SuperCrew 4x4 Lariat with a 5.4L and a towing package. Does anyone know how much it's rated for towing? I've misplaced the owners manual. I'm thinking about buying a travel trailer.

Thanks,
Joe

Ford's 4,6-liter Triton V-8 (rated at 220 hp at 4,500 rpm and 290 lb-ft of torque at 3,250 rpm) and its 5.4L Triton V-8 (260 hp at 4,500 rpm and 350 lb-ft at 2,500 rpm) are available, backed by the 4R70W four-speed automatic with overdrive. With the right powertrain equipment, the SuperCrew can be rated to tow as much as 8,000 pounds (2WD) and 7,700-pounds (4WD).
Found this searching Google.....

I'm building a new house and took a dump trailer to the landfill. I don't know how heavy the trailer was, but the stuff in it was 5,000 lbs. No problem towing (trailer did have it's own brakes). Ford Tough!

Just to let you know you can tow about 13,000 lbs if you have to. It's not good on the truck but my uncle does it all the time with his '02 screw, maybe thats why is a POS and it only has about 80K on it but thats besides the point.

I pull a Travel trailer that is about 6800lbs. I have the same setup as you except I have a 2003 4x4. It does a great job towing. The truck has a max combined weight (trailer &truck) of 12500 that you are not supposed to exceed. I am right at that and it tows pretty good, Kinda wish I had an F250 for those windy days, If you are planning on towing more than a few hours drive, I would probably either get a lighter trailer than mine, or a slightly bigger truck.
