WE Just got home from an 800 mile trip and I am happy,happy,happy. We towed in tow haul locking out 6th gear and got 9 mpg on the way there and 9.5 mpg on the way home. Set the cruise at 65 and let it run. What a nice experience. Passing situations where extra power is needed NO problem. No I would not go any bigger than what we currently have! For our needs this worked great.

Excellent report... How much does you trailer weigh?

Not sure on pin weight I haven't weighted it in years dry weight on the sticker is 7200. I am sure we are under all weights we were border line with an 04 F150 max tow haul also. There is also just the DW and I which cuts down on all numbers. The sticker in the truck states a payload of 1972, we have the max tow haul 4x4 also, and yes we are happy,happy,happy! Of the 15000 miles a year 2500 will be towing the rest are daily driving.
