Question Tow Vehicle

[djurden]

I have a 37' travel trailer that weighs ~7,000 pounds. I am currently towing with a Ford F250 Super Duty. I am considering trading it in for a new F150 3.5L EcoBoost, long wheelbase, with the necessary towing package. We travel quite a bit; approximately 12,000 miles in a year. Some of this is mountain driving; Colorado, Utah, etc.

I'm wondering if anybody has experience with the F150 towing this size of a TT and can offer some advice.

37' is too much trailer for a 150/1500. That's going to push the truck around like crazy, especially in the mountains or in high winds.

Why are you looking to get rid of the F250?

Maintenance and fuel costs. I just paid over $100 (~19 gallons) to fill up on diesel!
