OK, thanks for the information! I don't have a Whipple, but tow a lot on steep mountain grades. Thanks!

Thank you for all the work put into this project and posting it. If I'm understanding correctly you used the ML3Z7R081C transmission fluid V6 supply/return lines that worked OK with a bracket that did not bolt up, but the NL3Z7R081B transmission fluid supply/return will work fine on the 5.0...

Agree, found this info earlier this week in the Ford 2024 towing guide, page 40, shows F-150 cannot tow over 5,000 pound trailer or over 500 pound tongue weight without a WDH. Thanks...

Agree. Another F-150 owner had also presented the second question about replacing the original hitch, with a hitch that has higher weight WDH requirements. I personally believe we are bound by the OEM hitch label and online towing guide that says to use a WDH when the trailer is over 5,000...

Another question, IF the owner of a F-150 with the OEM WDH hitch label decided to remove the OEM hitch and mount the bumper with hitch delete like one from Beefcake Racing and install a Curt Hitch with maximum weights of 10,000lb trailer and 1,000lb tongue without WDH, requiring a WDH above...

Buyer2021, appreciate the reply!

I am hearing from a fellow F-150 owner that the label on the bottom of our trailer hitches about using a Weight Distribution Hitch is recommended, not required. I'm not finding information in the operators manual about using a WDH, but the online towing guide says to use a WDH when the...

Hope you don't mind our F-150 with a travel trailer. Air Bellows overlook, Blue Ridge Parkway NC.

The same thing happens with my 2024 STX 5.0L when not towing. Appreciate the cooling explanations given by HammaMan and Snakebitten. Tow a 4900 pound travel trailer using tow/haul mode, so far momentarily see up to 215F transmission and engine oil temps with AC on towing up short 7 & 8% grades...

Many folks use a DC to DC charger to charge their Lithium battery. When I installed a single BattleBorn 100AH battery in our camper replacing two group 27 lead acid batteries, BattleBorn told me it was OK to let the 7 pin charge cable charge the battery while in transit for our installation, I...

Agree, we like towing a 5,000 pound travel trailer with our 2024 F-150. Like how the tow/haul mode works, too. On the temps when towing, noticed higher temps, engine coolant, engine oil, and transmission with AC turned off. When I turned AC on with outside temps 60/70F similar terrain in NC &...

I tow a 4900lb travel trailer ready to camp with my STX 2024 F-150 5.0L. Installed Timbren suspension enhancement system on the F-150 rear differential to get rid of rear end sag when towing this trailer with 490lb tongue weight. The trailer is 7' wide and I can see around the trailer easily...

I keep one inner & one outer packed trailer bearings, tub of grease and spare seal.

Just passed 5,000 miles on our 2024 5.0L STX. First Ford pickup we have owned, but had two Ford trucks for company vehicles, F-250 and F-350, both great trucks.. Had a noise in the drive train early on, the Dealership replaced the driveshaft, no other issues. Just returned from a round trip...

Our 2024 STX 5.0 2WD F-150 has original Goodyear Wrangler Territory HT 275/60R/20 street tires, 3.73 gears and over 3,000 miles on odometer after following trip. Round trip from Charlotte NC to Outer Banks NC totaled 892 miles using 35.8 gallons yielding 24.9MPG, truck computer said 25.9 MPG...

Appreciate the kind comments! Took this shot the first day I towing with the F-150 and impressed with how the F-150 handled our 4900 pound camper. We spend time in the North Carolina mountains this time of year, hope to post additional rig mountain photos. Should spend some time camping in...

Agree, we love to camp at ACE campgrounds, too. We like Dam West ACE campground when in Illinois. Thanks!

Drove our 2024 F-150 STX 5.0L over 1,000 miles before towing with it. Towed our travel travel trailer to Bandit's Roost ACE campground in North Carolina for the first trip. Really like how the tow/haul mode works and how the F-150 handles our trailer. Before the camping trip added Husky floor...

Weighed the F-150/camper rig today with empty camper water tanks, full TV fuel tank, two people, and most camping gear loaded. Camper comes in under 5,000 pounds with tongue weight under 500 pounds. Been pro-active keeping camper weight low. Really impressed with the F-150's weight capacities...

TexasTruck, Appreciate the information!
