[QUOTE="Harley#356, post: 14142624, member: 62603"] what are timbrens? looks like you have the car pretty far forward on the trailer too, probably well above 10%-15% tongue weight with it so far forward and can probably move it back a little to lessen up the weight on the draw bar and still have a stable load with minimal swal. About 18% of my miles on my 2012 Raptor have been towing (just shy of 5k miles of towing...love the second odometer for towing to track trailer miles!). It's usually about 7500 lbs for my race truck & trailer (2000 Harley truck & 20' steel bri-mar full deck open trailer). It definitely tows LEAPS AND BOUNDS better than my 2nd 00 HD truck used to tow. Way more stable, way more power, way better braking with the integrated brake controller, and the select shift 6 speed with tow/haul mode is the icing on the cake! Having a tough time justifying ever getting a superduty with how nicely the Raptor tows. My squats a bit, but I do have the mid perch up front, and usually a couple hundred lbs of gear in the bed, and ~7500 lbs dragging behind the hitch, but I've still got stock bump stops, stock rear suspension, etc. Wouldn't mind a load leveling setup just to keep it more level looking, but other than sitting a little squatted, I've always found it tows excellent. Definitely a myth when guys say that Raptor's aren't good for towing with a soft suspension. Tows my fully loaded trailer 100x's better than my 2000 HDF150 towed the empty trailer lol [ATTACH]14497.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]14498.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]14499.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
