Clarification on tow capacity
If a vehicle says it's tow capacity is 9,000 lbs what does that 9,000 pounds include? Obviously the TT plus whatever we have in it and the water in it... But what else?
Forum Discussion
To respond to the OP asking about the F150 Ecoboost:
Look at the payload numbers carefully, even on the Max Tow models. They are not all the same. Options eat into the payload. I know too many people that bought EB's thinking they can tow the world only to realize after the purchase that their payload was 1200 - 1400 lbs, not over 2000 lbs as they wanted.
I found a stippo model on the lot with decent payload and felt real lucky I did.
My suggestion: Find the TV you can live with, but don't buy it yet. Then find your TT that the TV can realistically tow. Once you are happy with the pair, purchase.
Good Luck and see ya at the CG
