I went to the scales when realistically loaded for a weekend trip and I was WELL under GAWR (I was under 10k), as long as the camper is evenly loaded, tongue weight will be well within limits.
I am getting ready to change my differential fluids, I do have the electronic locking rear diff.
Do I HAVE to use the Motorcraft 75w85? I am sure I can use 75w90GL5 without issues.
Do I need to add an extra bottle of friction modifier like...
I dont have the Ford TPMS for trailer tires.
I am sure I have a lot of prep to do. Had not thought about gravel protection for trailer, I need to look in to that.
From my thread on the upgrade, IDK if the links are still good.

I went kinda budget on the tires. I used these on my F150 and had good luck with them. I know white lettering is a polarizing...
It looks worse than it is because there is a slight hill I am parked on. Its about a 2 inch drop and really close to level. I used a level on the truck bed on level ground to check.
ALSO in that pic is the truck bed fully loaded with all our gear because this was t
I just bought a camper. 4100# UVW. 2026 Vista Cruiser 23tws.
I have a 2024 Lariat with the 2.7L. Front level kit, 1" lift block in rear. 275/65/18 tires.
I have towed it about 1200 miles in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky (so no mountains, but some minor hills) on a few trips and here are my...
2024 2.7 here
I mostly run 87 octane, premium when I find a good deal. I dont notice a difference in daily driving. Have not towed any real loads yet. I plan to use 92 or 93 octane when towing.
I mostly use top tier, but occasionally I dont. When I get a dollar off at Kroger, I fill up with...
I have this set up, it looks like I wanted it to. on FULL HARD right turn I hear the mildest of rubbing. No issues other than that. Speedo is about 2mph off at 75 mph. My MPG dropped a little. Average 20-21 hwy. 18-19 city.
My Thread...
I am going to give you my thoughts.
1. A tuned 2.3L wont be anything like the 3.0
1B Tuned 2.3 will require 91 octane most likely, the Raptor doesnt REQUIRE it
2. I believe even the rear end is different in the Raptor, not something you can probably reasonably update (3.73 vs 4.10)
3. Do you...
I did the rough country 2.5 on the front and a truxxx 1 inch on the rear and it has a SLIGHT rake.
Level when a trailer is hooked up, as intended. the extra clearance really changes the look in a positive way!
Im at 13000 miles and my mileage is just under 20, but I have level kit and larger tires, so its still pretty good.
As others said, the 2.7 is the reason I bought this truck. I previously had a '19 F150 with the 2.7 and it performed better than my Ram with 5.7L and 8 speed trans.
I love the...
