Made the 185 mile trip just fine, 60 mph the whole way. I do think that it was alot more weight than what I was told. When I got to my destination, I put my hand on the hood and actually burned my hand from the heat. That 3.7 got a good workout.
GVWR of my truck is 6800 lbs
Towing capacity is 6,000, payload is 1,558 lbs
Right here I had 800 pounds in the bed, trailer weighs 500 lbs and load on the trailer was 1100.
Am I asking too much?
I have to drive 180 miles with this load. Personal, not for work.
Ive been told on here to use ESP 0W30, that its a great oil. I couldnt find it at WalMart, only ESP 5W30, so I bought some. Is it comparable to Castrol Euro 5W30, and is it long drain capable?
put in some Amsoil 75W140 in the 8.8 rear diff in my ‘12 F150 at 203k miles, currently has 283k so 80k on the oil. How long can I safely go? I tow light loads on occasion, and daily I have anywhere from 200-1000 lbs in the bed for work. I drove mostly interstate miles. Wasnt sure if I should...
