  1. 2021 2.7EB towing 5,000 camper

    I have the 3.5, so I don't have any 2.7 experience. But back in the 80's and 90's, F150s towed campers your size with a 225 horse power v8. That 2.7 will do the job, no doubt about it.
  2. Odd Gas Mileage on Trip

    I drove 1000 miles pulling my camper this past Thanksgiving. MPG varied tank to tank. I definitely got bad fuel on 1 fill, ended up below 7 mpg. Best I did was north of 12 mpg.
  3. Sport Mode.

    I've had my truck a year now, never been in sport mode. I'll have to try it. The Lariats switch to 4A in Sport, so traction won't be an issue. I've only mashed the pedal 1 time, that was in Normal Mode. My kids screamed in a mix of fear and excitement. I cant imagine what sport must do?!
  4. Ignition Power avail while Remote Started?

    I'm curious about this also. I did an overnight in a Cracker Barrel this past year. I was hoping the timed start would refresh the battery to keep the fridge and heat running, but I dont know if that would provide power to the trailer harness. A simple test light may work. But these trucks...
  5. The 2.7 EcoBoost Towing Thread - Post your trailers, campers, equipment photos!

    There's plenty of evidence that the 2.7 is the best motor available. Great balance between economy and ability.
  6. Don't go off road with factory Ford 20's. They can't take it.

    My truck is a pavement queen. The only dirt it sees is the campgrounds we visit and a few kayak launch areas. People ask me why I didn't get the FX4 package all the time, it would have been a waste of money and payload for me.
  7. Am I the only one that thinks Ford needs to improve front grill designs?

    You can't get the 6.5 bed with BAP. I wanted the BAP just for dual exhaust, but the small bed was not an option for me.
  8. Ram RV-TT towing failure complete destruction

    The dealer I ended up buying from didn't ask a single question and left me be. A few others didn't even give you an option.
  9. Ram RV-TT towing failure complete destruction

    Some TT dealers won't even let you transfer your existing WDH when trading for a new one. They make you pay to install what you already own on the trailer they are selling you.
  10. Am I the only one that thinks Ford needs to improve front grill designs?

    The black caps were inexpensive and pretty easy to swap. I'd rather have the standard mirrors, but I hate the strap on mirrors when I tow my camper.
  11. Am I the only one that thinks Ford needs to improve front grill designs?

    I ordered a Lariat sport package (chrome delete) with tow mirrors. The f'in mirrors came with chrome caps! Pissed me off, had to switch them out as soon as I picked it up
  12. From the 3.5 to the 5.0

    Whats the emissions from CO2, water? I dont know ow anything about CO2, including how we go about getting it.
  13. From the 3.5 to the 5.0

    Don't t forget where and how they get the materials for batteries though. Im not one of those "anti-ev" types, but im also not gonna ignore the human and environmental toll the mining creates
  14. Lane Centering While Towing?

    My explanation would be my experience with my particular setup. I have somewhere north of 3000 tow miles with my truck. I have a 4 point Equalizer WDH. It's obvious pretty quickly when I forget to turn the sway control off. I feel I have my trailer setup well. Slightly trailer tongue down...
  15. Lane Centering While Towing?

    A lot of people have different experiences and sensitivity to sway. Another friend of mine has a 22 F250. He thought I was nuts until he turned his off. He couldn't believe the difference it made. I'm sure experiences vary with setups also.
  16. Lane Centering While Towing?

    This is the 1st time I've seen Weight Safe. Looks very similar to the 4 point Equalizer I use.
  17. Lane Centering While Towing?

    The onboard sway control fights the WDH, creating sway. I notice every time I get to highway speed, goes away as soon as I turn it off. I have a friend with a similar trailer, same truck and WDH, his experience is the exact same as mine.
  18. Lane Centering While Towing?

    It works, but trailer sway is the issue. I have a WDH with sway control, I turn off lane centering and the onboard trailer sway control when towing.
  19. Tow / Haul mode question

    I have over 3000 tow miles so far. I haven't had that experience. I also haven't dealt with any overly steep inclines.
  20. Feedback on towing 32' trailer

    I have over 3500 miles pulling my 31 foot, 6800 dry weight camper with my 22 Lariat, 6.5 bed with Max tow. O issues outside of poor fuel economy when im Orth of 55 mph. I have a Equilizer hitch, which does a great job with sway.
