I alway's liked Low Lock ( 4 wheel drive ) for pulling out or backing it up my hill. My 1/2 pulled fine. Just wasn't heavy duty enough in the brakes. You need 4 wheel disc . The 3/4 ton did not even sag when I put it on the hitch. Unlike the 1/2 ton.

I have a 29 Fountain with Twin 454s and I tow it with a 1/2 ton GMC Denali Sierra. It tows it with no problem.
|
2001 GMC 2500 Diesel is my primary and tows with no problem.
I have towed it with a 1500 z71 for 300 miles and it didn't miss a beat. I will say on a steep ramp pulling a wet boat out it struggled a tad but nothing to worry about. Just watch your oil more than normal along the way when towing long distances F-150 should be fine. If towing the 29 and it has two motors I would watch my "recommended" towing capacity of the 150. Not saying it won't do the job but the insurance company might think different if you get into an accident. |
I tow our 27' with 2011 Sequoia 4x4. Works fine on long trips and short trips.
|
I tow my 29 single with a Trailbalzer SS. No problems. Rear air suspension brings it right up to level. 0-60 times drop from 6 seconds to 10 seconds though.
|
I have a twin 29 and pull it with my 2011 F-150 FX4 (5.0). The towing capacity is fine, but I only pull it 4 or 5 miles to the ramp and back. I think 4X4 would is an absolute requirement. If I were going to pull it a long distance or frequently, I would go back to a Power Stroke F-250/350 or Duramax.

I think solder44 has a new Eco 150 and a twin 29, no problem.
The Eco has a higher tow rating then the V8! I did the analysis of having that diesel and having my EB. Gas savings and maint cost I will be ahead 2300 bucks this year. So the truck is paying for its self. |

That's not really fair. Tundra specs are more comparable to 3/4 ton trucks from the "Domestic" brands.
