Going from 4x2 to 4x4
Ok I have been towing with a 2004 F150 2 wheel drive. It towed my TT great, solid as a rock. No wiggle, no nothing. Fast forward to the new F150 4x4 Off Road. I set the hitch up the same, all meas...

We take our 4x4 RAM 1500 off road all the time and as a TV it's rock solid (at least with our 3000# TT, admittedly fairly light), however we do so fairly slow and nothing like the kind of places we'd take our Jeep. If our RAM was something like the power wagon variant I'd bet it wouldn't function quite as well as a TV.braindead0 wrote:
Something seems odd. I've never driven a F150 4x4, but my Ram 1500 is rock solid towing or not. I'm going to presume you did NOT get a F150 Raptor? Is it an FX4? A more off road oriented package/model could have somewhat softer suspension and more travel so that it can handle faster off road which is not going to be the best for towing IMO.
Bingo! We have a winner! A 4X4 with a stiff suspension is pretty useless offroad as you want the tires to have contact with the ground at all times.
