Re: The dealers do not have crystal balls.
my F150 tows my 7200lbs loaded trailer perfectly fine. no white knuckles, no tail wagging the dog. would it tow better with a 1 ton? probably. but it would cost me an additional $20k for the 1 ton diesel not including the higher maintenance cost.351Views0likes0CommentsRe: Disappointed with customer service help
seabeetom wrote: What Customer Service? I spent two days driving to darn near every Camper/RV business on the MS Coast looking for a replacement, new or salvaged, Blower Assembly (squirrel Cage which had cracked) for the Carrier AirV on my TH. Got the same story from all of them - "Out of business, no parts available, but we'll look in the scrap heap". So, Thursday afternoon I started Googling for the part number. every place I called gave me the same story, most tried to cross reference a suitable replacement, but to no avail. So,, called CW in Hammond, La. and got the Parts Department, told them of my problem, and the response was "Carrier is out of business, no parts available, you have to buy a new A/C". I asked if they might have one in the scrap heap or possibly tell me of a replacement. Again his response was a flat out "You have to buy a new A/C" making no effort at all to assist otherwise. Thinking that mindset was a fluke and not a representation of CW, I called CW in Robertsdale, Al. talked to the Parts Dept. and was asked to call back Monday as the person was fixing to leave for the day. I asked if they could at least tell me if the part or substitute was available, and got the same response as that given by the Hammond store. Now That Is CUSTOMER SERVICE. A hopefully suitable replacement was found on eBay and should be here in a day or two. customers like this drive stores crazy. what did you want them to do for you? some of them tried cross-referencing to another part to see if it would work for you and it didn't. how is that their fault? the company that made the A/C unit is out of business and can't supply any parts. how is that their fault? you probably think they should have bought the 1 part that you lucked out finding on ebay and should have sold it to you at below their cost because of your "inconvenience" of having to drive all around the MS coast finding this one in a million part... oh woe is you.480Views0likes0CommentsRe: Reese Dual Cam

While I understand a 3/4 ton or one ton truck will always tow better, I only tow 4-5 times a year. It doesn't make economical sense to have a 3/4 ton (that is why I got rid of my 2013 F250). ignore the suggestion about getting a bigger truck. your truck is more than capable of towing that trailer, it will just take some adjusting of the hitch and tongue weight to get it right.498Views0likes0Comments
