this used to be our personal tow rig for whatever we needed to be towed



1996 F-150 Northwoods edition
5.0L 302ci 5 Speed Manual
Extended Cab Short Bed

she did good, we loaded our 20ft trailer full of boulders and filled the bed and she pulled it 25 miles home, she sagged a ton but still pulled it

probably all in the tuning. I also have the 4"MBRP which I'm sure helps.

I really can't get mine too hot on the tow setting (80hp extra) when towing my rig/trailer which weighs about 7500#. it maxes out probably around 1250-1300*

now the hot setting is a different story. I can tow with it (if I don't care about fuel comsumption :finger: ), but only here in the midwest. it would get too hot pulling larger grades like in the mountains.

I DD with the hot tune which is around 580-590hp (about 485ish at the rear wheels)
