F150 from 2500

you will be sorry
not enough truck when it windy outside.

The F150 EB engine with the higher GVWR and RAWR package's will do fine for a 6400 lb dry weight trailer any place.

Two different opinions!

He's already bought the truck (with input from he forum). He was just letting everyone know what he decided on and why. It's a done deal.

So why bother beating him up over it with the first answer to his post. As already stated it's just an opinion and as it makes no difference, the OP is happy, so in this instance I'd say keep it to yourself.

It looks like he did his due diligence and is happy. Good for him. Hope he has many happy miles ahead.

I don't think he'll be sorry. Mine does great until the winds are strong enough to cause everyone grief. It towed my 31' ttt (tip to tip) from California to Colorado barely noticing when trucks blew past me. It wasn't until the head/cross winds got over 25mph that it was uncomfortable. I slowed it down from 65 to 60 and it was much more comfortable. The stinkin headwinds really killed my gas mileage, though.

Ditto on how well his will work. I have the older version F-150, so payload was a bit lighter than his ("only" 2166) and pulled our Jayco 30' fifth 14,500 mi. to all three coasts. Many, many mountains. We were either right on, or 1-200 pounds overweight. Based on quick and dirty guessing, he will still have a bit of buffer. Most new fifths in the same size have gained some weight since we had ours, so my truck was finally out classed, hence going to a TT. But the OP's will provide him with a great, and safe, experience.

Lets said "He's already bought the truck...why bother beating him up over it with the first answer to his post."

OP said he was getting an F150. I guess that means he has purchased or ordered but it's not clear. Regardless this is a forum for discussion and opinion. That's what Mark did...express an opinion on the selected truck pulling a 30 foot TT weighing 6,400 pounds dry in wind. I don't just want to read happy, positive approving posts. Write what you believe.

With those options, I wonder what the tire rating will be ?

My camping Buddy tows a 7500# Arctic Fox with his '14 F 150 EB. (non Max) The only mod he's made is upgrading tires to Toyo AT II LT's. He does just fine. And the wind can really blow across this southern Idaho desert. He does have a very expensive hitch system (can't remember the name). He also hangs right with my 6.7 pulling the mountain grades while getting the same mileage!!! My 6.7 only has 5K miles but if it doesn't start getting decent mpg's I'll special order an F150 with max tow/haul, super cab, 8' box with a Rousch supercharged 5.0!!!! 6.2 if they'll put one in. :B

I have a 2015 Lariat EB with tow package and love it so far. The thing is that I only tow when going camping and the rest of the time i commute to and from work 16 klm each way. For my needs it is the right truck. I towed yesterday in Alberta in a stiff wind and could definitely feel it but I took my time and drove accordingly......which anyone would in a good 5o klm/hr crosswind. I took my trailer in to get some free warranty work done on the air conditioner, made it there and back safely. Its not what you drive....its how you drive.
