If the 2011-2014 F150 couldn't handle more weight than the 9,800 lbs that the Ecoboost 3.55 was rated at then why was the exact same truck (frame and all), but with a 3.73 gear, rated for 11,300 lbs?
11-14 F150 with 11,300lbs towing needs either max payload or max towing package.
"The HD Payload Package and Max Tow Package BOTH include the following:
- Select-Shift Transmission (since the HD package automatically includes the Trailer Towing package, at least in Canada it does)
- Class IV hitch
- 7-pin wiring harness
- Super Engine Cooling
- Auxiliary Transmission Oil Cooler"
Your 3.55 Ecoboost does not have the oboe options that increase trailer towing capacity on the 11-14 f150.
