Towing with a 2010 with the 4.6 3v

I'm looking to buy a camper this spring and was wondering if anyone has any experience with towing with the 4.6 3v?

It's probably rated higher, but I'd stick with a trailer under about 6000# gross weight.

If you can post full details on your truck we can look up its ratings.

Cab type
Bed length
2wd or 4wd
Axle ratio (AXLE code on door jamb sticker)

It's an extended cab, 6.5ft bed 4wd. Not sure the axle ratio. I'll have to look tomorrow

Official ratings are 7900# with 3.55's, 9400# with 3.73's. However, you will probably run out of payload capacity (truck GVWR) before you reach those numbers.
