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...

first 2 are about 16K lb trailer weight and the last one is 21K lb trailer weight. 6 pallets of Retaining wall block   4 pallets of flagstone, a diesel generator and 3 wheelchair lifts... and a pool table base...
