Re: Vehicle Towing Assistance - Weight Ratings
Two folk have mentioned that the OP may be over on payload. Yet the OP hasn't given us the payload capacity of the truck. Until we get that, everything is speculation. Payload is typically the first capacity exceeded. proffittk: what is the payload capacity on the decal on the driver door jamb?497Views0likes0CommentsRe: Portable Generator open ground

Straight from the folks who make the EMS: Open Ground Protection: If AC power has an open ground condition, the EMS will read an error code of E-2 and power will not be allowed to the RV.440Views0likes0CommentsRe: Towing requirements
Several folk here have mentioned PAYLOAD. This is the key rating. Forget towing capacity. You will almost always run out of PAYLOAD before you exceed the towing capacity. I'm using caps on purpose because the OP refuses to acknowledge what smarter people are stating. PAYLOAD!488Views0likes0CommentsRe: F150 Ecoboost Stock Versus Tuned
Mike at 5 Star knows his stuff. I had his tow tune on my EB and it made a world of difference, and like stated earlier, it actually improved the durability of the motor according to the data that I extensively captured. I now run a 5 Star tune on the 6.2 gasser, but that tune mainly just changes the shift points.241Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tow vehicle F150
I also went from a 2010 F150 EB to a F250 6.2 gasser. EB was fine with the trailer in my sig, but the F250 is much more stable. The EB had LT tires, after market intercooler and 5 Star tune. Got about 9 mpg towing. The 6.2 gets 8.5 towing. Also it's not just the payload, the mass weight of the F250 makes towing more stable. Order a truck through a fleet manager to get exactly what you want. Remember, the fancier the truck, the less payload.452Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tire monitors
Agreed x2. I stupidly broke the wire for the small antenna that screws onto the unit. I asked TST if they would repair it if I sent it in. They said sure. I sent it in and received a brand new unit with a free range extender within days. They even transferred my settings to the new unit.287Views0likes0Comments
