Just got home from my trip to pick up the new bbq trailer. She pulled like a dream, the truck didn't even know she was back there.

I bought my F150 to replace my current tow rig (wanted to replace both my chevrolet and my DD honda)

I don't have a picture of the f-150 towing my Toyota yet, taking my first trip with it towing on the 4th off July) but here is my chevrolet towing what I hope my Ford tows atleast halfway decently. the trailer is right under 2K pounds any my 4runner is about 3,800 pounds with my gear in it.

If the sight of a truck with a bowtie on it offends too much I will remove it. Will get a picture of my ford hooked up to the trailer probably thursday when I get home from off-shore probably take the chevrolet picture down when I do.

Bikertrash,

Nice 4-runner, my '06 F-150 Screw 4x4 with 5.4 3.73 gears gets 10 mpg towing my Jeep on an 18 ft car hauler. My load is a little heavier than your Yota though. That being said, it does tow it great though. I can run 75 mph all day long.

I towed a 4runner with mine and averaged about 12-13 depending on roads and weather, according to the EDGE.

I only got a pic of the Zuk when I first started its build:



now it looks more like :




That's my second Zuk, and third dedicated wheeler I have built/building. Honestly surprised to see so many REAL wheelers in here ! I didn't even know yall were hiding around here.
Thats still not how its looks today, but close enough. Imagine that, minus fenders, minus Temp. roll bar, add in full cage and tube fender and ya got the picture. Also, I don't have a sweet smoker like BBQ Mike, but mine rides in the bed of the truck when need be.

OK got back late last night from the ride. I forgot to take a picture of my truck, trailer, and 4runner before I got everything unloaded but it pulled very well. Except for the lack of spunk compared to my dually, I would say that my F150 handled the load just as good as as well as my Chevrolet did. And as a bonus, My ford got 2 more miles to the gallon that my dually did... without a trailer behind it

My dually when towing got 6.7 mpg, the F150 is getting 11.7 so WOO HOO!


So anyway, since I have no pictures, just picture a generic 2004 Red Supercab F-150 pulling the same trailer as my Chevy was in my earlier post.

I know, I know. No one is allowed to ride with me til the actual cage is put in. This is a temporary one. Believe it or not, it actually worked, and I luckily came out of a complete roll over fine. It'll be fixed, don't worry.
