I'm considering the 2013 Ford F150 3.5 V6 Ecoboost with tow package to pull my 2017 Jayco 28RL Travel Trailer (6800lbs). This truck is rated to pull over 11,000lbs.
My question is do any of you pull anything over 8000lbs of weight plus gear with this truck? I'm very skeptical. Looking for opinions before passing or buying this truck. Any problems with the turbos?
Thanks for your suggestions.
Is that 6800lb loaded or empty?. If loaded. you are good to go. If empty. You will need to know what your MAX WDH tongue weight can be, AND what your max payload can be.
The max tongue weight is going to need to be in the 1000lb range. The GVWR of the truck is going to need to be pretty high. Somewhere in the 7500lb range, to carry the tongue weight and passengers.
