technically you shouldn't, realistically you can. Now much more than that, it's not advised, but towing around that amount, or a little over, the truck does just fine. About 15% or so of my miles on my raptor are towing (love the separate trip meters for trailers!). I usually tow around 7,500 lbs between my trailer and race truck, then another couple hundred pounds in gear. Occasionally with the truck in full street trim it's closer to 8,000 lbs being towed. Add in a full tank of gas, a cabin full of passengers, it does just fine. One time I even towed over 10,000 lbs towing several pallets of pavers on my trailer and another 500+ lbs of pavers in the bed & cab, & a passenger. The truck handled it fine. Squatted more than usual, but accelerated, braked, and handled fine. I wouldn't do it frequently, and for the case of the OP question with towing regularly for 2 years or so with well over the rating, I wouldn't do it with the raptor. But occasional or even regular towing at or right around the towing limits, it'll do it fine.Yeah not as good as a superduty, but it's still a multi function truck. And I'm not buying a dedicated tow truck for 15% of my mileage when 85% is still regular driving without a trailer.
