hey my names pete, I'm new to the site but not new to trucks or towing, I'm from pittsburgh pa, i own a detail shop and i buy sell build trade antique cars and hot rods.
A few months ago I bought a 2014 CCLB 4x4 ecoboost appearance package f-150 out of canada. mainly because of its funky options. its the most highly optioned f150 ive ever seen.
I will post pictures of factory sticker soon.
anyways, in the canadian manual for the truck it rates it at 15k+ towing
and i've towed 12k+ with it 3 times now, stops and starts with ease never overheats, just a few days ago i toted a 8000lb bobcat on a 3500lb equipment trailer through state college area on 322. up and down all those mountains, it didnt like the steep hills but still did it at 50mph in 3rd gear
in addition to all of that, all of my friends have f150's, two buddies with ecoboosts, every time we race my truck has 5-6 car lengths on them and leaves them way behind off the line.
either my truck is some sort of factory freak, or someone has a tune on it. i bought it with 13k miles. also, it gets horrific fuel mileage, around 7-10 on highway towing which i dont think is bad, i travel out west to dakotas and the head wind usually keeps the turbos in the 8-10 psi range the entire trip as expected, 12 around town and 15 unloaded on highway at 70 mph
my mechanic thinks it's different than a us model. it only has 2 cats, not sure how many a us model has
it also is very loud for a stock exhaust, way louder than my buddies trucks.
My truck is seriously a terror, this thing with my average weight behind it, around 7k, will put cars to shame on the highway, ill pull any hill at 80-90 mph and she still wants more. trying to get it on a dyno soon to see if this thing is actually making significantly more power than a us model
does anyone have any info on the canadian trucks???
