Hello,

Does anyone tow with a 2012 or 2013 F150 V6 3.5L EcoBoost with a 3.55 rear end? Ford claims it has 365 hp and 420 lbs of torque which is more than my Chevy ¾ ton with a 6L. I will be towing a 30’ travel trailer that is 5,700lbs empty so I’m figuring it’s 7,700lbs loaded. I live in Illinois and we are just weekend campers and only tow it 70 miles one way on flat ground. Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Craig

I rounded up to 8,000 lbs. Figuring 15% tongue weight, you'll be at 1,200 on the ball, not including your weight distributing system. How much payload does this Ecoboost have? (sticker is on the driver door jamb)

Ecoboost F-150's can be equipped to tow heavy trailers, and reports here say they do well, but a 3.55 gear equipped Eco means it doesn't have the payload package or the Max Tow option.
