What can my truck comfortably pull?
welcome in, i have a 2003 f 150 4x4 supercab with the 5.4 triton,i pull a 26 foot nomad toyhauler tow behind that weighs a touch over 8000lbs.
my truck has no problem pulling or STOPPING it, that seems to be a big thing with some of these guys,if you are set up properly,your truck should pull twice as good as mine,i guess the people who replied to your question dont know what a heavy half truck is,you will probably out pull alot of stock diesels up most grades, gas mileage sucks but you have a wider power band with gas, so dont let these full timers get you down about your ride,that truck was made to pull, and it WILL STOP IT! just think, all you wanted was to know what size of 5er you should get, and theyre trying to get you to sell your truck, makes you wonder if they sell trucks. i wrote in to ask about gas mileage a few months ago, got one reply about gas mileage and a million about how my truck was going to puke the tranny out on the ground and i was gonna kill a few hundred people because my truck couldnt stop it, and they didnt even know how my truck was set up, im glad after a couple thousand miles of towing, my tranny still works and it stops just fine. youll find a few good guys in here who know the difference between there ass and a hole in the ground, but theres only a few.good luck. jd donohue
