Might need air bags but it is up to the task. Lol

The DW would tell you it's got a bag of air on the seat and it leaks air!

2020. Took delivery 11/15/19. It has a Cummins L9 350/1150 with an Eaton 10 speed because towing with an automatic on cruise control leaves a lot to be desired. The 350 HP L9 is the biggest engine Freightliner offers in the M2.

Marshall, Great minds "mow" alike! I have the weight in the garage, it's supposed to help offset the weight of the rear bag (add-on accessory), but I only use the bag certain times of the year. Bought mine for $999 a few years ago when it was branded as Troy-Built at Lowe's. Now that it has the Craftsman name on it instead and they're selling for $1199. Glad I got in while the gettin' was cheaper. Names sell as they say.

Got mine six years ago at a WalMart. End of year, last one on the garden dept. Got them down to $600. Took a gamble as they said it didn't run. Swapped out the battery with mine at home (engine blew up after 12 years of hard labor). Poured in the gas, cranked right up. Drove it onto my utility trailer as the manager looked on like I had just cheated him in a hand of poker.

Are you satisfied with the F150 towing that trailer. I have the same truck 2013 Ecoboost 3.5L , 3.73. Thinking of buying a 25RES (7600lbs), what do you think of using the ecoboost. ?

If that's a 5th wheel check the door sticker on your truck, likely the payload is 1500+/- lbs then NOPE it's not enough to carry a 7600 lb 5er regardless of what Ford states as max tow weight. That 7600 lb RV will be 1200-1500lb, possibly more, pin weight or very near 1000 lb tongue weight for a TT with a 28-30' trailer pushing from behind.

Brent,
Nice looking truck, but what kind of "special paint" did Ford use ??? It looks brown in the top photo and blue in the bottom one (connected to the trailer)...

I thought the paint was “mood ring”. Now I’m showing my age.
