After driving back from Georgia to Texas over the last three days, I have a question:
Who wants to buy a 2018 F150 XLT?
The truck drives great, wonderful gas mileage, great power and braking ability, etc. However, when you put it in a crosswind, it's game over! The truck is simply too light to handle anything more than perhaps about a 6,000 pound trailer. I don't care what the SAE tow ratings say!
I'm done...
Knocks on the head taken, fixing to lose my rear end on trade, and crow eaten. For all those who said "I told you so," I say "yes, you did. I was wrong, and you were right. I'm sorry I didn't believe you."
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise if you are firm with your decision.
You have more experience than I have (a newbie and not yet even one year into RVing). But one critical element I found out is having confidence in your rigs. towing vehicle and TT.
That's one of my apprehensions living in strong Santa Ana winds of 30 to 70 mph. Along on how my puny 4runner will handle the steep Grapevine and Cajon passes.
Got my confidence when my tow vehicle handled them well -- even the 50 mph crosswind in the notorious 395-80 corridor near Reno.
