I was really surprised at how well my F150 pulled. I have a 2002 F150 Super Crew 4x4 with the 5.4 in it but I also have 3:55 gears, better for mileage but not great for towing. It takes a bit to get it moving and barks a bit going up larger bridges and inclines, but once moving I can tow at 70 mph with no problem.

No windscreen on mine but I don't know if I will have the speed to blow any tops off............guess I will just have to get them in the rough and bounce them out or just get them drunk and ask.

Nice looking tow vehicle, you should be happy with that. Did you run across any other clean Excursions, 2005 models? Have a friend looking for one.
