Anybody maxing out an F150, by J2807?
I am looking to trade out of my current F250, 6.7 diesel in 2020. My 5er is about 1240# on the pin and 9300# loaded for a long trip. I know it is light on the pin, but with two extra spare tires in ...

My dad downsized from a freightliner chassis coach to a 12k pound (loaded) fiver and 2016 ecoboost f150.
He's stretching timing chains quite a bit (google ecoboost timing chain issues) hes gone through 2 chains, is on his 3rd and expects to need a new one as he drives from east to west coast in May.
He says it hauls OK, you know its there when the light changes green, and you know its working when you merge onto the highway - and while it pulls it, you know its working on steep hills.
He is a pretty ornery 75 year old who likes to beat on his stuff so he can tell people who hard he pushed it before it broke - he drag raced some pretty high end cars when I was a kid in the 70's and gets a big stupid toothless old man grin on his face when he sees the tach hit 6K ... if the ecoboost can take his beatings its got to be up to the task.
My only concern is the stretching timing chain issues that may not be a problem in newer models.
