[QUOTE="2000gt4.6, post: 15608455, member: 123767"] Article you linked stated the 8100 and 9000 pound ratings. Also was looking at XLT etc on Ford's website but I did step up to the mega cans etc. I don't doubt if your towing 15k with a half ton truck that has a 8k limit they are gonna drop the hammer. I have my doubts on a few hundred or even a thousand or two pounds. You are linking about a communist state though, so you never know. And it still doesn't negate your insurance...just opens you up to a lawsuit in the commy areas. That's whag insurance is for. There's a reason there are different engines available, as some won't even tow at all. And I'll still argue that 9/10 people that do hook a trailer to a f150 won't exceed the limit of the 2.7, and in that case they are better off with it vs a 5.0. No matter how you look at it, even with the article linked the truck got 2.x mpg better in city driving, and if they were honest has better daily driving characteristics not to mention far better response to simple aftermarket Bolton's. It all boils down to this: a hardcore crowd is screaming to beat hell that Ford is screwing up by going the EB route...meanwhile people are snapping them up as fast as they can. And the EB revolution at Ford has created a situation never before seen from them....where you can buy a vehicle basically anywhere in the range with FI and get massive gains with minor aftermarket mods. The real kicker is, Ford is basically breaking it off in the environmentalists rear end by creating a (successful) marketing campaign that manages to convince eco nuts a turbocharged engine is more environmentally friendly while giving enthusiasts a easy to program ECU that offers massive gains once you toss the emissions nonsense out the window. And yet people complain... [/QUOTE]
