It'll tow as much as the little 4.6 will put out. It's not how much you're towing, it's how heavy on the axle and the input from the north end of the truck. Not something I'd consider worrying about. There's about 5milion f150s getting ragged on everyday. Don't see them sitting with broken axles on the side of the road.

8.8 dually 1 ton app is something I've not seen before and likely never will without a pic of the underside of that camper. Not saying it's impossible but it's laughable from a load carrying standpoint.

Agreed, I've never seen an 8.8 with dual wheels either. Somethings not right

I apologize. I have been on vacation at the North Rim. I'll see if I can snap a picture of the cover for perusal to confirm it is actually an 8.8 and not something else. Would not be the first time I was mistaken.
