A 29' boat with a F-150? Are you serious? Eisboch Yes. Remember that I " wash the trucks as they come of the truck" ...remember? (snarky remark you made discussing Vipers, and the T-10 Engine) My Astro Van can pull my 20' tank of a boat, on a twin axle trailer. It also launches, and recovers it as well. Are the F-150s you get in the states de-tuned or something? Put your foot in it. It has absolutely nothing to do with the engine. It has everything to do with the suspension, brakes, and rear end ratio. The F-150 is a light duty truck. I don't know what the 29' boat weighs, but I suspect it is at least 5000 lbs ..... probably more when engine, gas and gear are factored in. The F 150, although maybe "rated" by Ford to be adequate ... isn't, IMO, for any long distance, hauling of a boat that size. Eisboch |
