  1. Just towed trailer 200 miles with XLT EcoBoost 4K Tow AWD (Santa Cruz to Lucerne CA through 3 mountain passes)

    I forgot about the premium, but I'm going to use it the next time. Although it ran fine and there wasn't any pinging. The oil is Pennzoil Full Synthetic made from natural gas. Somebody on you tube said it helps keep the valves from coking...
  2. Just towed trailer 200 miles with XLT EcoBoost 4K Tow AWD (Santa Cruz to Lucerne CA through 3 mountain passes)

    I like them because they are forever. On my F53 motorhome I had to make my own brackets and used Ford Transit Timbrens for the right amount of spring travel on the front axle.
  3. Just towed trailer 200 miles with XLT EcoBoost 4K Tow AWD (Santa Cruz to Lucerne CA through 3 mountain passes)

    Yep #1800lbs capacity and they aren't active. I found them on ebay for $250 out the door. I'll bet I can install in a half hour
  4. Just towed trailer 200 miles with XLT EcoBoost 4K Tow AWD (Santa Cruz to Lucerne CA through 3 mountain passes)

    Thanks, but I'm planning on using the Timbren springs. I've been using them for years. I have them all the way around on my Motorhome. You don't even know they are there without a load on...
  5. Just towed trailer 200 miles with XLT EcoBoost 4K Tow AWD (Santa Cruz to Lucerne CA through 3 mountain passes)

    Thanks, my co-pilot keeps a close I on me. This is probably the best towing rig I've had. Even with a 20mph side wind, hardly noticed.
  6. Just towed trailer 200 miles with XLT EcoBoost 4K Tow AWD (Santa Cruz to Lucerne CA through 3 mountain passes)

    Thanks for the info. The trailer dry weight is 3450, so it's gonna be close when I ad all the beer! I screwed up the hitch stuff. I bought a hitch for my receiver. I had to turn the "L" bracket over to get the hitch height...
  7. Just towed trailer 200 miles with XLT EcoBoost 4K Tow AWD (Santa Cruz to Lucerne CA through 3 mountain passes)

    I talked to the CHP about the overweight issue. He siad I could add all the extras to raise the capacity, but what mattered was the sticker on the door. Here is where I'm confused. GVWR is #5205, GCWR is #8145, and my trailer is #4000 +/-. How much does my truck actually weigh? Is it around...
  8. Just towed trailer 200 miles with XLT EcoBoost 4K Tow AWD (Santa Cruz to Lucerne CA through 3 mountain passes)

    That's great! I thnk just as long as you are camping and having fun. We checked out the Rockwood and the Mightly Lite 18RBS but we settled on the Lance cuz' it seems to us heavy duty. The Mav has plenty of power. Don't be afraid to wind it out! I don't mind 4000 rpm for awhile. Those engines...

    Nope, removed the spare tire, 1 propane tank a kids bed, and I don't travel with a full tank of water. We're going to weight the truck this week and then I'll know more.

  12. Just towed trailer 200 miles with XLT EcoBoost 4K Tow AWD (Santa Cruz to Lucerne CA through 3 mountain passes)

    Hi, Just towed my new trailer 200 miles from Santa Cruz, CA to Lucerne, CA with my 2022 XLT EB 4K tow and AWD. Got 11.5 MPG @ 57mph. Went over 3 mountain passes in cruise control. Cruise dropped between 2 and 3 mph and then caught up. Sometimes there is a whooshing sound. Maybe the fan...
  13. Resale Value insane?

    I think it's amusing. The Scalpers just clutter the bandwidth hoping for a profit. Ford people don't do that. I'm a Maverick guy through snd through. I'm a Ford guy through and through. I have never made a profit reselling any Ford I've owned. Some I've giving away. Hasn't mattered. I...

    Hi, I see that the Lincoln 2.7 AWD and EDGE 2.7 AWD has a Neutral Tow Mode. Can the Forscan unlock NTM on an AWD EB?

    I adjusted my hood and the rattle went away. The hood was low in front. Anybody have the rubber band on the steering shaft under the dash. Only way to get it on was during the build.
