Those tire racks look eerily similar to yours.... are they the upgraded ones?

I`m told it's more stable. We just got a 28' to use for ourselves that has spread axles and it's pretty stable.

It also offers a different look unique to the marketplace. Customer wanted them at first point of contact.

Beautiful trailer. I just can't imagine a V6 eccoboost handling a 24' trailer loaded with a car and all the gear. Did he say what the towing rating was?

^^With over 400 ft lbs of torque, I can imagine it does pretty well.

Over 11,000 lbs.

I went on a drive with the owner. The truck had power. I was surprised how much.

The turbo V6 only came out in past 2-3 months.


3.5L V6 with2 turbos. 380 hp and 425ft-lbs at 2000 rpm I believe with 22 mpg hwy. Of course not when towing.

The truck is rated to tow 10,800 but you have to watch tongue load as the payload is maxed at at around 1800-2600 depend on options. The 2600 is special 8200 GVW chassis with limited trim/body/cab options. Most are 1800-2000 before options at 7500 to 7700 GVW. So in most cases you max paylaod before you max the trailer or over do the motor.

I have been looking at these F150's for abit.
