I think solder44 has a new Eco 150 and a twin 29, no problem.
The Eco has a higher tow rating then the V8! |

PistonHead, I read your other post about moving from south Texas to northern Ohio. You might want to just keep the 4X4 for more reasons than boating. Sun to Snow!!! Good luck
I could plug the Tundra, but that will upset more than a few. :party-smiley-004: I lived in Detroit and Northern, MI for years so I certainly know what the snow is like....LOL! I see Canyon lake on your sig. I have some land there @ Mystic Shores on the north side. Trying to offload it now in preperation of moving. |

I dont have a 29 but I have a Cummins 3/4 ton, and I can tell you that once you have a diesel and that flat torque curve I will NEVER have a whiny gas p/u again. Running over hills without the tranny even having to drop a gear is awesome. It really irritates me when a gasser has to drop two gears just to get over a grade when towing

I towed my 27 with a F-150 4x4 and it was no issue.

Tow with a 1/2 ton Ram, no problem. Just make sure your trailer brakes work. Your only talking about 7500lbs. ish.
|
Towed my 27 with a 1/2T no problems.
Let your trailer brakes stop the trailer, not your truck. |
towing
When i picked up the 27 from Rob Freeman . My truck was broke down the day before. So i used the wife's Expedition and it towed it just fine. I'm very consertive when towing leaving plenty of stopping room and maintaining a safe speed .

Towing specs on the new F150 Eco is 11,300#. That's with a 3:73 rear and you can order 4:10s. The twin turbo gives good boost at low rpms. The truck has been tested recently (I believe it was Motor Trend) where they compared the 5.0, 6.2, and the Eco Boost. You can probably find the test online. I tow my 29' Fever twin with a lot less than the Eco Boost but I only have a 1.3 mile tow to the ramp.

I have a 29 that weighs 8560 on dmv scales. I wouldnt usw a half ton to move it around the block imo.
