This travel trailer decided to commit suicide after realizing it was being pulled by a Ford.

We all know what woodwalker really thinks of his GM. Look at his signature. It doesn't instill to much confidence.

When you have a big strong trailer with 590 hp and 1175 ftlbs of torgue you buy the best truck on the market to push

Shane,I don't know that I can believe that.
Even those Dodges are being pushed by their camper. I think some of you guys are going to have to wake up and see the light one of these days.

The numbers are straight off the dyno at Banks. Trailer scaled at 15950 hardly tell it's back there. Remember there is a reason the put front tow hooks on the new Eco boosts

They put tow hooks on to pull you GM and Dodge owners off the road when it dies.

You and Frank are the ones claiming your truck is being pushed by the trailer.
Us Eco-Boost guys pull our rigs. We don't have to rely on the rig pushing us.

My Super Duty tells my Redwood what to do, but then again it is a stock Super Duty.

The F--150 Eco-Boost is doing what the GMC 3/4 ton was doing just a few years ago.

Wrong
the only thing you have is a light little half ton with a nice engine.
Axles,brakes,frame everything is lighter than a 3/4 ton

By the sounds of it, I don't think you have done any research on the Eco-Boost.

Yep, with over 12,000 pounds of tow rating and 3300 pounds of payload.

And if they do not. Because dodge gm and ford would not sign in to the established rating system that Toyota did for payload @nd trailer hauling capabilities. The big three can put whatever they want on their door stickers. When the little half ton pulling a trailer to big for it. tranny goes out engine blows or the trailer flips it on its side. You can always go back and look at your door sticker and say they told me it was rated to pull it says right here on this sticker. I have hauled all kinds of loads over the years and would not haul more than 5000 lbs with a half ton. the truck does not have the weight or running gear to handle it.
