Hey Captain. Thanks for complimenting my RV.
My truck is a straight V6 - no ecoboost. That said according to my owners manual and double checking online I am able to tow 11,300 lbs. not sure who came up with that figure but I wouldn't wanna be the one doing it. I'd say it would probably take a lot of life out of the engine for sure. There were times when for no reason the gear would drop into second and put the RPM to 6000. Really bogged the truck down and I was using the "tow/haul".
I am sure with more experience will come better fuel economy but I will be dropping my speed for
sure lol.
Thanks.
