Well, good news. Got the trailer home in one piece. The truck worked flawlessly even with a 25 mph cross tail wind. Now I've just gotta figure out my speed, gear, and RPM's. I'll post another topic, but I was running around 3K rpm on a slight up hill grade, wind at our back and keeping our speed between 65-70. Sometimes it would be in 5th (I have a 6 speed) when there was a little more "up" it would drop into 4th and run around 3,200.
Nothing to figure out, Ford programmed the computer to do that for you. Put it in tow/haul mode and drive. 70 is a bit too fast for towing any high profile trailer if you care about safety and fuel usage.
