F150 3.5 Ecoboost-length and weight of camper you're towing
If you've got an F150 3.5 ecoboost how big of a travel trailer and how much weight are you towing? Post a pic if you have it

- See Sig - Right around 8000 when loaded for a trip. Tows great and got 11.5 mpg on our last two trips.
- Towing is much less stressful when you stay below your towing limits. I tow our trailer for fun and relaxation, not for thrills.

I was hoping to hear from someone towing at it's limits- In 2012 we towed a 35' travel trailer that weighed 11,200lbs loaded to Alaska and back with a 2012 F150 Ecoboost HD 7 lug wheels. It pulled great but seemed a little light in crosswinds.
- 2013 F150 cc 4x4 off road. Towing coachmen apex 214rb. 25feet overall.it is about 4200 empty and about 5200 loaded. Tows it great!!
- I had a 2011 Ecoboost with over 2000# payload (4x2 SCab). After stiffening the suspension, upgrading to LT-E tires, and adding an Equal-I-Zer WDH, I towed a max 8500#, 28.5 ft long, 11.5 ft tall, 8 ft wide trailer all over for 25K miles. I wouldn't do it without those upgrades (or better, the HD Payload option).
Worked fine except on a couple of very extreme downslopes, and in the mud and wet grass (it was a 4x2). There was a jarring tranny clunk when downshifting downslope into 4th. Otherwise, very quiet, very powerful. Never any mechanical problems.
But I was over the rear GAWR by a few hundred pounds and over the class IV hitch receiver rating. When the drive train warranty expired, I traded it in on a heavier diesel 4x4 with an exhaust brake and class V hitch receiver. - :) Hi, 2014 F-150 Ecoboost towing 25' 6,300 lb. Airstream.
- We have a 2012 F150 Platinum EcoBoost 373 gears. I'm towing a Arctic Fox 25R 6350mt 10,000GVW we are at 7800 - 8200 depending where we are going. 9 mpg here in Alaska lots of hills with no problems.
- I'm towing about 4000 lbs. Just because that's the trailer that we really liked. My Hideout 178LHS is about 21 feet, tip to tip. The F150 pulls it like it's nothing. I do feel wind and blast more than I did in my F250, but there is a huge difference in weight between the F150 and the F250.
