Anyone towing a 22MLE with a F150 2.7 EB

Don’t forget there is a mighty fine F-150 8 cyl that will pull that 22mle with ease. Have been on four trips now including the hills going into San Diego from the east and had zero problems.

There is a reason why the rpms are different in the tow/haul mode, check out your manual

My max tow is higher and my payload is about the same. My GCVWR with 22MLE and truck=11600. Also check to see what your 150 axel ratings are. When loaded with just wife and I, got about 300 lbs of payload left. Doable, yes. You just need to keep the weight down.

Stay safe.

Interesting differences in your numbers. My 2022 MLE weight sheet says 594 tongue and 5201 UVW. They must have made some changes.

Your numbers are correct..of course the rig they have may have some modifications that could change their numbers

Of course the 150s can pull anything but can they stop and control them . Payload capacity should be your guide vs internet testimonials😤

Trying to stop or control 6000 lbs in accident avoidance or blowout is where the controll issues come.

I’ve never ever seen a 250 series driver lament they stepped up from the 150 series. In fact you see they say how much more control they felt they had.
