Thank you.
It seems to be general consensus that pushing past the 30 ft lenght mark is not a good idea with a half ton. I used to tow a 30 footer with a Nissan Titan and all was well for many years. The only issue was power going uphills. It was very limited. I don't have that issue with the new F150 Hybrid. Plenty of power even though mpg is not what I expected on a truct that was 12 yrs newer than my Titan.
In going thru fuely.com, it is hard to find an ideal truck. The F150 does great in city and freeways without a load. An F350 Diesel seems to do better towing, not by much, but it is probably not as 'road friendly' for a daily driver. While I can afford either truck, I've always had a hard time justifying an F350 Diesel or similar truck. I tow once a month with the occasional longer summer trips.
Thank you for the feedback.
