Interstate 15
Hi all, my wife and I (Florida flatlanders) are planning our first trip out west. We would appreciate any insights on towing our travel trailer on Intertstate 15.

Sell the gas truck as it will struggle going west. Get a diesell!
“Struggle”? I tow a 7600 lbs trailer with a fully loaded truck (2500 lbs payload, HDPP, max tow) with a 3.5 ecoboost effortlessly. As long as he is within his ratings without exceeding any ratings there is no reason for him to consider buying a different truck. Is I see it, the biggest consideration he may have is payload, and that has nothing to do with the V6 ecoboost or struggling.
3.5 ? you got to be kidding me...i guess anything can tow anything anywhere its just how safe you want to be. Going 20mph up a 6% grade at 7000 ft is not safe as you will be run off the road by semi's and all the other folks.
Before you get in too deep, maybe you should educate yourself about the 3.5 ecoboost and the J2807 standard. I assure you, “l’m not kidding you”.
On the other hand, if you would like to provide some factual information rather than your “opinions”, I’d be more than happy to have that fact based discussion with you. As my basis in fact, I provide J2807 standard that the F150 adheres to.
