I appreciate all your comments. I towed the TT to the coast and it did OK but was in 3rd 90% of the time running 55mph at 2k RPMs. On grades speed dropped to 35mph with 2.8k rpm. The truck moved around a lot especially with small wind gusts. I never felt comfortable with the handling which caused a lot more concentration than I liked. The TT brakes worked fine but on steep downgrades they felt a little mushy. Long story short, I put the F150 on Craigslist and went shopping. Ended up getting a killer deal on a 2004 Dodge 3500 club cab 5.9l Cummings with 150k miles. It drives like a dream and I am amazed at the acceleration with the 5.9 diesel. Not worried about weighing everything wife puts in TT now. Got a new trip planned over labor day with new rig. Thanks again
