Towing With a titan

Lead_Foot · 06-04-2005, 08:06 PM

Ok, my mom has been looking at titans, and is thinking about buying one, and when i move out she will probably be wanting to tow a fifth wheel, maybe 23-27ft, and i was wondering how well it would stack up, i know it wouldnt be better than my truck, but it also would get better than 8 mpg. so if anyone could give me some info on what they've towed and how well the titan did doing so, it would be greatly appreciated.

BTW if anyone wants to get into a pull off with a F-150 come over to www.Fordtruckenthusiasts.com, personally my moneys on the titan, but it still would be cool to see how well they stacked up.

what truck do you drive lead foot?

87 F-250 with a 460, its all i could afford, only put me down 1600 bucks. Besides i dont need a nice truck seeing as I only have my permit. And as a plus it will pull your house down in four low.

Aint nothing wrong with that. I do think the titan will tow better than you think though.

I have no doubts it will tow better than any other trucks in the half ton class, but nothing beats a big block, one problem though, my wallet seems to be getting lighter by the mile, im lucky if i get 9 mpg lol.

It's the classic rabbit vs the turtle story. Eventually the turtle catches up because the rabbit is wasting to much time at the gas pump.

Seriously, I have a 4x4 LE w/big tow package. Best I've done was a tandem axle 20' enclosed trailer loaded to the hilt with concert speakers and amps. Best guess is about Pulling was no problem. Honestly, I would not have known the trailer was there if it wasn't in my mirror every time I looked back to be sure.

i couldnt be the rabbit, because of two reasons, the thing holds nearly 40 gallons, and if i get it above 80 the thing screams cuz its a got a C6 tranny and 4.10 gears.
