Hello Ford Extraordinaires,
New to the forum today and from what I have read so far everyone enjoys their Ford's as much as I do.
I recently traded my '06 FX4, 5.4 Triton in for a '13 F150 EcoBoost Supercrew, 3.55, 157" WB and the difference is extreme. Wife and I are fulltime RV'ers and hauled our 30' travel trailer across the country from SW Florida to Santa Cruz, Ca. about a year ago. The '06 with over 100k on it didn't skip a beat although the grapevine on I-5 in Cali gave my wife a scare and turned her knuckles a little white and she wasn't driving. All 3000 miles were uneventful.
We are thinking about upgrading our travel trailer and we are looking hard at 5th wheels and at the Cougar High Country. The high Country has a reasonable hitch weight compared to others and I am planning on installing a set of Super Springs to keep the truck leveled. Has anyone had any experience with 5th wheels and towing with the new EcoBoost? I can tell right out of the gate the power and torque is there but curious if anyone has towed any 5th wheel's. It is looking like my company may be transferring me back to Florida to take over another facility so we may be making a move quick. Any advise from someone that has the experience would be much appreciated.
Thanks a bunch.
