no 2023 :(

Yeah same -- been waiting for it to come back into stock. Anytime I need to look something up I am out on the road somewhere! Also please note the link I posted is for the 2023 model year.

12", Lariat 502A :)

I'd seen some pictures of that enabled and wondered why mine didn't show it. I have ForSCAN so will do that. Thanks!

Yes I figured the 6.5 was better for towing for that reason. Also planning to get a tongue scale. I looked up a couple of 10k utility trailers and they were all around 2800 ish, so...? I had a 7k and it weighed 1850.

But with < 10% weight on the tongue with the new trailer, doesn't that cause stability issues? Ie I could move the Bobcat further back on the trailer (still over the axles) and lower the tongue weight, but the guidance always seems to be 10-15% tongue weight. Of course a larger load. PS I...

According to the hitch sticker and the Ford towing guide, anything above 500lb on the tongue requires a WDH. (see above) I'm going to pick up a WDH because I can also use it on an enclosed car trailer I am planning to buy.

This has the Max Tow package. Includes a "Class IV" (ish) hitch, "3/4 float" rear axle etc. Hitch is rated for 1400/14000 per sticker, vehicle GCWR is 13,800 (only EB MaxTows get this high in F150s). But the catch, as I posted above, is that it needs to be weight distributing if above 5,000lb...

Alright, here's the piece of information I was missing! It was on page 44 of the 2023 towing guide. (edit) it is also on the hitch sticker, I guess I need new glasses Weight carrying up to 5,000 lb, weight distributing hitch 5,000-14,000.

No WDH (rental trailer). I know it is a lot of weight but re anti sway, it is a relatively short trailer. So....? Was planning use to use tow mode and overnight.

(edit) and yes you are correct, the 1400lb tongue weight is WITH a WDH. No WDH on rental trailer. 1302 (est at 15% of 8680 total trailer weight) < 1400. Just. Thinking I will make sure the load is over the trailer axles (and just slightly fwd) as much as is reasonable. My ball/mount is rated...

I need to do a SINGLE pickup trip, about 800 miles (mostly easy flat interstate except one mountain pass). I am not in a hurry. My rig is a 23 EB Lariat SCREW 6.5 MaxTow with XL5 axle so: GCWR 19400 (from 2023 Ford towing chart) GVWR 7150 (white door sticker) Max trailer weight 13800 (from...

My truck has spray in bedliner, maybe covered up? Will take a look. Thanks.

I could see the holes, but I had a bed mat in, where are they?

Have I been going slow on this! But here's an update. I designed and 3D printed a bracket to fit behind the underseat storage box and take the radio. Green color is just a draft print, final will be in ASA. Got the power and antenna wiring as far as B pillar, stillneed to get remote head cable...

Alright I found the fittings there (must be a Ford thing?) where did you drain them to? Pics? Thanks.

Not sure exactly where you are talking about? I think the actual leak is the flap at the rear edge not quite being flexible enough for the very sides of the top of the tailgate.

Yeah, mine leaks a bit at the rear corners. It isn't a big deal, all of my gear is in Plano boxes so nothing really gets wet.

I think it is around 12" square, something like that. Not small and you do lose some space at the front of the bed, but there is some space under it, but you have to be care to not knock the drain tubes out.
