What are you towing with your F150
Lots of talk on the forum about 3/4 ton trucks but I was wondering what is your experience with your 1/2 ton ( or the one you used to have). What 1/2 ton do you have? what do you tow with it? What is/...

See my sig. 7500# loaded trailer. Last time at the CAT scales, fully loaded for Florida, I was 3120# under the GCWR (16900#), 200# under GVWR (7500#), 20# under receiver rating (1150#) and 130# over rear GAWR (4050#). Since then I have tightened up the WDH and moved stuff to the rear of the trailer, so think I'm under all ratings now (or closer anyway).
Didn't like the soft suspension so its been improved with Roadmaster Active Suspension, HD shocks and LT tires. Could still be stiffer though, perhaps with airbags, but really I should have got the HD Payload option.
Only other complaint with this load is the 3.5L Ecoboost's weak Engine Braking. You have to be cautious going down long, extremely steep hills. The Ecoboost will get you up those hills, no problem, though.
