We tow a 2008 Jayco Jayflight 26bh. Last season, I towed it with a 2002 F-150 with the 5.4 (2v), and 3.31. Prior to towing, I added a K&N cold air intake, Flowmaster cat-back exhaust, and another company's programmer~sorry, I didn't know any better:sadface: The truck pulled the trailer ok, but I wasn't happy.

I've since upgraded to a 2010 F-150 with the 5.4(3v) 3.55ls and tow package. I am looking forward to adding a Gryphon to my new truck once they are ready.

I changed out the POS Pintle hitch to a 2 5/16 ball hitch and removed the extra channel that was mounted on the ramps and dovetail.. which removed about 300lbs of metal from the rear of the trailer... It tows great now.... I have developed a strong dislike for pintle trailers on light duty vehicles......
Also added a wireless remote control setup for the winch...

Default got hay?

I don't have many pics of my fords in this pc. The dodge ram on the trailer had a blown Cummins @ 77k miles it dropped a valve, still fighting with Dodge.
The GMC may get a 7.3 powerstroke.

Default I found a few pics of my '94 F350

I was not able to pull the truck out of the mud we had to use the tractor.
