So, I towed for the first time yesterday. Had about 2,800 lbs with a trailer and my side-by-side. Had to pick up the bike from camp to get service.
This little truck is amazing. BTW, I say little truck cause I compare to my previous lifted F150. It tows better than my150 did. I'll tell you I'm most impressed with the power this engine produces. I did punch it a few times and it pulled like there was nothing in tow... No kidding!
I had to tow from camp thru powder sand and it handled it like nobody's business. My F150 tended to sink a lot because it was much heavier.
Picture below shows the kind of terrain when I came back with an empty trailer.
I certainly knew it was towing because of the bouncyness with the trailer but I was super impressed with the pull it had.
Great job Ford!

I forgot to mention I got a consistent 15 mpg with this load...in town and about 45 minutes at 60 mph.
The 5.0L F-150 would get 15 on the highway (unload). I know...not really apples to apples.
