F150 w/ Eco Boost Enough
I have a 2012 Keystone Cougar RBK, dry weight just over 6900 with a length to the tongue of about 33'6" (I think).
Currently we have been towing it with a 2007 Tahoe LTZ and it just isn't enough and I feel it places a big strain on the motor and transmission. Plus I was planning on getting a new vehicle anyhow so it is a good time to get something which will tow it better.
My question is whether others who are towing the approximate same size camper with an F150 EB are happy with it? Also, how do you feel about the following as it relates to your towing experience:
Does the tongue weight feel like more than the 150 can handle and cause you to feel like you are popping a wheelie like I get in the Tahoe?
Do you feel a lot of sway and motion distributed from the camper into the truck itself?
Do you feel there is adequate horsepower and torque?
If you have the 3.55 gearing, does it shift comfortably and is that a good ratio for what we are towing?
Do you feel that you made a good decision with this truck and/or would you buy another one tomorrow if you were towing a similar camper?
We need to do something fairly soon, so any and all comments are appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
