Did you do anything else to it to handle the weight? Airbags? shocks? I have a 24ft toyhauler that will go over 10k when loaded, but like all toyhaulers its tongue heavy as hell. I have a 02 chev2500hd with the 6.0. It works the tranny on that truck pulling to the north slope, I am wondering about the f150. Other than the 6-7times a year we drag that trailer, I don't need the 3/4 ton, and don't want to trade my house for a diesel. I am hoping this truck is what they claim it is, if so I think I will be getting one.
