I towed a 2002 Isuzu Axiom on one of those U-Haul trailers with my 04 Supercrew FX4. That freakin trailer weighed more than it should have by itself, but had no problems, unfortunately got into a hail storm on the way back - thanks to good insurance, my 04 has a new paint job and a new hood.

Really? Keep telling yourself that, how much suspension travel does it have in the picture, 1/2"? With what you have posted in that picture your truck should have towed it with ease.

It was stock in the picture. The 19,080 lbs is with the truck. Now i put monroe coil over shocks in the rear that are desined for more weight in the bed. I also have a modified hitch with 5/8" grade 80 steel and 16,000 lb rated D rings for the safety chains. My truck only has the 4.6L but it pulls it will no problem, all I do is the regular maintenance. The tires are load E also so that helps a lot. I'll put a picture of the shocks on there as well.

Power is not the problem of limit for towing weight. People have been moving 15k pounds for 40 years with less power.

I've use my lowered Supercrew for towing my racecar without any problems for 5 years now. When I first lowered it, it bottom out pretty damn easy. Hell, a bag of mulch would bottom out the truck. I installed air bags in the rear and haven't had a problem since
