Are you sure about that 5100# in the manual?
The only 5100# F150 tow capacity I see in the brochure is for the normally aspirated V6. All the 2.7L EcoBoosts are at least 7600#.
I think you mid-read the manual and have at least 7600# tow capacity.
Hi Brulaz,
This is the way I understand it....
2015 F-150 Owner's Manual
Page 254
Footnote #1 -> "Do not exceed a trailer weight of 5100 pounds unless the vehicle is equipped with the Heavy Duty Trailer Tow Package or the MAX Trailer Tow Package".
So my understanding is that if I have the Heavy Duty Trailer Tow Package or the MAX Trailer Tow Package, then my Maximum Loaded Trailer Weight is 7600 pounds.
If I do not have the Heavy Duty Trailer Tow Package or the MAX Trailer Tow Package, then the 5100 pound limit takes precedence.
