nice my tow rig gets going down hill maybe haha. I haven't towed with it yet but we'll see my dad has towed lots of random stuff and used to tow his kabota tractor to small jobs and stuff and he said it pretty much stayed around 14 so we'll see ahha. as for the trailer if it works then it works haha mines like perfect I bought it just by eyeball hoping my truck would fit and it seems to fit on it like it was made for the truck I just need to re deck it and put new fenders and lights on it. It was all together I just didnt want to tow a hagard lookin trailer.

not yet thats why I said I haven't towed with it yet. I still need to go to Ford and buy a bolt I'm just lazy and that thing sucks to work on but I will get around to it soon cause I hate driving my truck more and more every time I drive to browns I think about how nice it would be to have it on a trailer lol.
