It's really nice so far. Upgraded in features, downgraded in truck size, and got a smaller loan. I'd say it's a win so far. I won't count possible longevity issues or re-sale value though :bootyshake:
F150 without heavy duty payload(11,200 pounds):
- Conventional with weight distributing hitch: 9,600
- Gooseneck (bed is too short for most trailers): :dunno:
Diesel:
- Conventional with weight distributing hitch: 13,000
- Gooseneck: 15,800
A smaller enclosed should do just fine behind the F150 and is all I realistically plan to purchase unless I somehow hit the jackpot. Just add some sway control bars since there is nothing built in for sway and be good to go.
Not sure on the tune part. Need to look into it and if the motor, turbos, and fuel pump can take the extra PSI and torque. I'd assume a lot since it's a V6 but not sure on the design and how much boost the current turbos put out.
