So what is your TV rated for....what engine and HP and rear
end does this truck have. How far do you tow with it. You
must see some steep grades where you are ?
Can I borrow that 3 cord wood trailer.....would you mind
bringing it to WNY...LOL

I don't pay any attention to this so called ratings game. It's just a number. I rely on the years and years of towing about everything there is to tow. My current F-150 has the same gvwr as my last 3/4 ton and it tows the same trailer much much better.
I have the 5.4 Triton with 3:73 gears and 10 ply tires with air bags. 300 hp/365 torque.. More than my old 454 Chevy 3/4 ton. I'm not a guy to want the fastest hard pulling around, if so, I'd go diesel.
Wood trailer loaded goes about 10k and I don't like filling it up anymore like I used too. (laughing) My son and his 2500 HD and I both pull that loaded without a wd hitch. That's the way things are done around here. Haven't seen a wood hauling wreck yet, knock on wood and there's some big loads coming out of the hill.
I'd bring you the wood trailer but according to the net, my truck won't pull it there empty. :B
