Ford F-150 5.0 V8 Towing
I have a 30 ft TT at #7100 wet. I am looking at a 2013 F150 XLT 4x4 Supercrew with the 5.0 v8. How is this truck for towing Thanks George

If you have the 3.73 gearing, it should work well. It has nearly the power of the Ecoboost, just has to run higher RPM to produce the power. Does it have the IBC, and trailer plug under bumper?
With the 6-speed tranny, you can lock out 6th, even 5th, if needed.
If you have the cab full of people, and the bed full of wood/gear/stuff, you may run into a payload problem. Check the # on the door pillar yellow tire loading sticker. Keep in mind, near 1,000 lbs. hitch weight, including the WDH.
