Newbie towing question posting again

Brox, you can listen to the masses here, which is very conservative, or your actual towing and performance expectations with your combo.. I got ripped a new one on several occasions when I mentioned my weights on my old 97 F150 towing a #5000 TT.. I was over the trucks GVWR, but not over the axle or tire ratings.. BFD.. ;)

I'll get ripped another one on just posting this, but I don't really care what they say... They don't know me or my truck or anything about the situation..

If you want a new (to you) tow vehicle.. Get one (I did)... Don't do it just because everyone says you need one when they don't know anything about the situation..

Just my opinion on the deal and do as you want.. I've told plenty of folks on here that they are going to be overweight or not like their towing experience... Not many come back and say they didn't have any issues, so there you go..

Good luck and enjoy your rig as you want to.. Not how someone else wants YOU to enjoy it.. ;)
