Has anybody used their S crew to tow with yet?

Big Daddy Whiteboy,
Go to Skyjet's site at: http://www.over.to/SuperCrew/
I got a lot of good info from the site and Skyjet answered my questions about his trailer setup also.
I'm planning to take my 26' 6000 lb. gvwr travel trailer on a 600 round trip next weekend. I hope to have 900-1000 miles on it by then. I plan to baby it just to be extra careful.

On order: ARE-Z cap, headliner, clothes hanger (2), Roof Rack,

Big Daddy Whiteboy,
I have used it twice to tow my pop-up. It may not sound like much, but it does weigh-in around 3000lbs fully loaded. (which it was!!)
Plus, I had about 800lbs of firewood in the bed, and some additional camping gear, and I also had the back seats folded down with about another 400lbs of gear and clothes. The truck towed beautifully, even through the hills of Pennsylvania. Just turn the overdrive off when your on hilly ground and you'll have no problems. By the way, I have the 5.4L and the towing package

I'm hauling a 20' US Cargo enclosed car trailer with a loaded weight of 7500 lbs. Sure wish I could find some mirror extensions so I could see past the trailer.Pictures http://albums.photopoint.com/j/Album...8730&a=8921587

I pull a 20'loaded ski boat in the summer and 4 place loaded snowmobile trailer in the winter with my Crew. I have the 4x4 XLT, 17" x 10 spoke Goodyear tires, powered by the 4.6L and have never been disapointed with its performance. Sure it may have a hard time pulling the big monster trailers, but if that was the case I would of bought a SuperDuty powered by a Powerstroker. The 4.6L motor is a great realiable, strong motor that surprises a lot of people when cruising down the highway...big things come in small packages!
