...Guess again.

Last week we towed the 3800 lb Mustang with 300 lb trailer 100 miles over 4000 ft in elevation changes and that Roushcharger got the job done with plenty of power to spare. That included 4 adults and one little one and about 500 lbs in the bed.

We climbed the pass with half throttle and 2nd gear in the wings. I've never experienced accelerating up a hill of this grade at 7300' elevation while still pulling almost the entire truck weight to boot. Passing power+65MPH+7300' DA+7% grade+5000 lbs in tow =

And did I mention we were getting 14.6 MPG to boot. If you're looking to tow (and tow confortably), get yourself supercharged. You won't be disappointed.

 

That's good news. Perhaps a Mustang race car is somewhere in the near future for me.

 

Pulled my 3400pound mustang witha 2000pound trailer recently and had an ATV in the bed. No issues. These guys who say they need a F250 to pull a few ATVs are dumb****s. Don't get me wrong I wish I had the power of a diesel but I don't NEED it to tow. It would be nice however.

 

Was it a tow dolly or a carbon fiber trailer?

 

A u-Haul carrier. Maybe it was heavier. I'm not the expert on the weight. I just asked the guy at the store how heavy it was.

 

LOL

If it was a U-Haul tandom axle carrier, it was DEFINITELY heavier than 300lbs. lol

It should weigh in around 2000lbs. unloaded...

 

I've towed some things that a F150 (any type engine) should not tow... and it worked out fine.

 

Well in that case the truck towed the trailer around like a toy. Didn't seem that heavy.

 

were you running a tow tune?

 

Like what? Cattle?

 

Let me know. I have an 87 drag car I'll be willing to sell. I'll even drag it up to red stick for you. Oh and its black, it will match the truck. Not as clean as your truck, though.

 

I pulled a Bobcat B100 Baby Backhoe, sticker on it said 5700lbs and the super heave duty trailer that weighed at least 3000lbs maybe more. Nothing but a flowmaster in place of the stocker at the time. Truck sure knew it was back there, especially trying to stop. That is 9700lbs. Ford claims 10000lbs. Guess they are right. For FORD!

 

Yes I used one to move my mustang recently. Says 2000lbs on the trailer. That's what I used and was referring to in my tow. Definitely no aluminumized steel in that thing. Heavy *** some bitch for what it is.

 

Not a bad idea... maybe I'll do that sometime... I always like when you get a bunch of angry cows or horses shuffeling around in a trailer kicking the walls and you are sitting in traffic and your truck is swaying side to side from the angry animals.

People think they are going crazy... but they have no idea what's inside making all the shakin'...

I mean like 2700 lbs of rocks, fill the bed up with wet snow, haul my tractor around in the bed, 2 yards of wet mulch, haul around a 1 ton iron lawn roller (don't ask how I got that on there... let alone roll off), and about 3000 lbs of short steel... probably more... but it'll keep adding up.

My '99 I used to haul around a 32ft boat that weighed about 6000 lbs, moved gym equipment (barbells, weights of sort, and machines) totalling about 3500 lbs, 10 full loads of topsoil in one day, 3 loads of driveway mix in one day, 40 bags of 80lb concrete, and furniture, etc. There was sooooo much I hauled with the thing, it wasn't funny.

 

yeah i tow my equipment trailer at least once a week and it weighs anywhere from 3000 to 7000 lbs depending on whats in it. i always use my towing tune which cuts back the timing and increases the moderate load shift points.they say that your towing capabilities are cut by half with a supercharger, and that may be somewhat true, but i believe if you keep the gears lower and the rpms on the higher side while towing, you can push that limit a good ways
