SCrew 6.2 Towing Review

[warrior]

very happy with my screw towing my crawler, @6500lbs,

My truck has easily had a trailer behind it for 25% of it's 3000 miles. I usually tow around 5500 to 6000 pounds and it handles it with ease.

That's a good way to damage those expensive shocks!

I reset that before I left too so I would know. 12.2mpg Better MPG than my F350!

12.2? SWEET! That means I should go hook my trailer up right now so I will get better milage! HAhahaaaaaa.

That is great for real. In my FX4 5.4 pulling a 5 x 13 single axle trailer which weighs about 1200 lbs empty and with 1500 lbs of bikes I would get 9-10 mpg. Got 12 once.

So I can expect my little **** ant trailer to pull JUST FINE if I ever get the chance.......

Great post my favorite kind towing with a truck in real world conditions. Thanks for sharing your report

I have pulled every kind of trailer, with every kind and size of truck. I could not believe how good the Raptor rides and handles towing!! I towed a near 8000-lb trailer behind a 2010 Raptor for 900 + miles, and it was the easiest trip I have ever made in a 1/2 ton truck towing, avg'ed about 12 mpg .........

Very happy to hear how well the Raptor can tow. Can't wait for the weather to warm up around here so i can hook up the boat and hit the lake!

I towed from vegas to missouri. Trailer loaded just over 6000lbs with metal, a polaris ranger, a quad, and a ton of extra crap. It was a flatbed which may have helped because my 5.4 did, well theres no other word for it. Amazing. I averaged over 13mpg doing an average of 70. I didn't have a sway/load level bar or anything either. With tow/haul being computerized instead of an overdrive lock out, the truck does great with hills up and down. Power was always available.

Damn...I can barely get 13.5mpg's at 70mph without a trailer.....

Did you end up buying 10 UTVs?? That trailer is huge! Anyone notice you get 5 blinks instead of 3 when you have a trailer connected? Neat little feature... The jury is still out on these airbags that aren't designed specifically for out trucks... As of right now I can't wait to get them off. I have some fine tuning to do on the hardware setup (bigger bags) and I'm waiting on a compressor so they were pretty much empty with this load. It was a bit last minute so I was stuck using a riser hitch when I really needed a drop, plus there is still 450+lbs of payload in the bed. All things considered she did great. I have no idea the stats on the trailer but its nothing too heavy or big. I'm actually hoping to purchase it from a buddy for work since he has out grown it.
