I called a Ford Dealership, a different one from the one I am looking at this truck at, they told me that any after market equipment added to the vehicle would void the warranty. It would also not increase towing capacity.
If I wanted to look at a travel trailer what is the max size I should look at? Weight wise dry weight or Gross Weight? RV dealer websites are also confusing when they list weights of RVs. You never know if it is the dry weight or gross weight.
Secondly, the dealer flat out lied to you about voiding the warranty. It's against the law to void the warranty by adding after market equipment. Think about it, if you put a different air intake system on it and the water pump goes out, they don't have to cover it? Or the electric windows quit working? Flat out Lie.
By the way, the point wasn't to increase the tow capacity, the point was to keep from frying the transmission. But that must be a non-issue with the 10 spd transmission.
