Deaver +2 and air bags on a cradle

 

[Mthon7]

So just finished first long tow with 23 Raptor. We pulled Mastercraft X30 wake boat a total of 1000 miles. I would put total weight 7000-7500 but have not had it on scale. We pulled from central Illinois to Beaver Lake Arkansas so plenty of hills and 2 lane roads in addition to Interstate. I did install Airlift 1000 bags and inflated to 27 pounds which resulted in about 1 inch squat compared to unloaded and 5 pounds of air in bags. My wife thought this truck had a better ride than previous 2 f 150 platinums which both had max tow package. I was very happily surprised. I forgot to take pictures but can add some when I take boat to get winterized. Thanks for all the help on this forum!

Raptors can tow. My opinion is up to 7000lbs with some change in the rear suspension like bags or rear springs. Don't load your bed much while towing either. Also, an aftermarket thermostat is a must for mountain towing. Goosetuned tow tune for the cherry on top.

If you need more it's superduty + Carli suspension time

Those Embers are super nice, but I think the wife wouldve killed me if we spent triple what we got the Micro Minnie for. I also like how this thing tows at only 4100lbs dry. Super easy on the truck.



Did you use a WDH? If so I'm curious which one. I'm picking up a 21' trailer, dry weight of 3842 and fully loaded weight of 5504lb. Hitch weight is 462lbs. Trying to not add bags and to minimize as much sag as possible. I won't have too much in the bed, maybe 14 gallons of water and some other random small items.

I got this one, and even though my trailer's hitch weight is supposed to be roughly 500lbs, I got 800lb torsion bars knowing the raptor has soft springs.

And then I got a Bullet Proof hitch/ball mount adapter setup to make it quick and easy to change heights because I also have an F250 and an enclosed trailer for towing cars.
