Yea I know i'm maxed out with this specific hitch without the wd.

Forgot to mention I have a dual sway bar setup with this camper and it is very light; roughly 5,000lbs camping. Truck handles it great.

All very nice!

I have the 4.6L 2wd. I am looking into getting something in the 5000 - 6000 lb range. I really like the expandable trailers.

I pull my 2008 Starcraft RT14 OFF-ROAD POPUP which weighs in around 4200 lbs... The 2010 F150 doesnt really know its back there as I get 18-21 MPG when towing or not.

I have the tow package including the built-in tow brake system.

I think the 3:73 gears is best for me with this smaller weight I am towing... I got the same gas mileage with my 2004 F150 with same setup...

This is the first truck I have had that has all the electronics on it... Talks to me all the time...
