I had a ‘21 F150, 3.5EB, max tow. 32-9” TT with 6400 lb Dry and 8000 GVWR - Equilizer E4 WDH. Towed well. Two things I would emphasize - buy a good bar type weight distribution hitch, as other poster mentioned help tremendously with sway. I also added a RoadActiveSuspension and it helped...
Thanks for the replies. The TT weighed in at 7k. I agree with Buyer2021 , I am well within all of my limits and the truck pulls well. It does the job the 8 or 10 times per year that I tow the camper.
My bad, I was looking at threads trying to determine why my front axle weight rating is lower than I have seen posted on this forum. I thought I looked at the date before responding. thanks for the info on the 2024's and corrected info on hitch weight. I'm on some Travel Trailer forums and its...
I got my truck and TT weighed today. '21 XLT, 3.5 EB, Max Tow. I'm well within the axle ratings on my weights but only about 100 lbs. under on my Truck GVWR of 7050. I had about 250-300 lbs of stuff in the bed, so I have even more wiggle room if I move stuff to the TT. Question is, I thought...
One thing to consider on the Max tow is 1) the 36 gal gas tank is a game changer. I get about 9-10 mpg when towing, that let me tow 200+ miles between fill ups and 2) The hitch is upgraded to 1400 lbs. The Tow package and Std F150 is 1000 lb hitch weight. If you take a TT with 7500 GVWR and...
My '21 came with the yaw sensor (box). As other posters have said, works rain or shine or dark. The biggest advantage for me is that once I get my TT lined up where I want it, you just leave the Backup Assist knob at the center (let it go, literally) and it will back up straight as an arrow...
I pull a 7600 lb camper, which is essentially a giant wind sail. 2021 XLT, 3.5EB, Max Tow. I always use Tow mode and lock out gears 8,9,10. This essentially keeps the revs up and cooling better as folks have stated here. The 8,9,10 gears are overdrive gears and have thinner discs, so...
