[QUOTE="y2knole, post: 588030, member: 3693"] I tow with a 2013 5.4 expedition. I know you're after a pickup but still close enough... my jeep and trailer are lighter than yours but it does the job. took my 30' camper to AOP with it last weekend. Used to have a 5.3 tahoe. it did the job too but not nearly as good, in spite of having more HP. the difference? Expedition is a 6speed, tahoe was a 4. This transmission in this expedition always finds the right gear and rev range. With the old tahoe if you got 'behind the 8 ball' going up a hill (think that one on the way to GMP from chattanooga), it was dramatic. never gets that way in the ford, and if you are in tow/haul and coasting down a hill and tap the brakes it will downshift for you and give you some engine braking too.
