Tows like a beast

[FX4Offroad]

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!

Added:
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.

Agreed! The ~2200lb empty and ~6000lb loaded trip was great. Hardly knew the trailer was back there when it was empty and just a bit of bounce once loaded. There's not a single thing I was worried about and it still pulled power for days.
