Who says raptors can't tow? Purposely left the 7.3 dually at home to see how this thing does, it wasn't bad bringing home the new commuter (09 P71)

i wouldn't post that pic to prove your point. The way the rear is squatting and the front jacked to the sky you were way over the tongue weight capacity. Better use a properly adjusted W/D hitch next time.
I wasn't trying to prove a point, it was a short 10 mile tow and wanted to see how the raptor would react vs. my dually..The results were expected and it's more of a sarcastic post but I'll make sure to run everything by you next time.
I've also towed the same 3k pound 14k rated trailer to storage across the street from my house behind my 2 door Wrangler and nobody died. Crazy.

I'm sure most of that has to do with the fact that he has the car way too forward. Balance out the trailer and that truck will have 0 problems... Someone needs a lesson on towing.
From my previous lives:
1974 F-150 Ranger XLT, 2WD, 360 Auto w/posi-lock rear end, short box, dual tanks.
Sold it to go to college.
1985 F-150, 2WD, 300-6 cylinder, 4 speed manual, long box
10-4, those are CB antennas on these first 2 trucks.
1991 F-150 Ranger XLT, 2WD, 300-6 cylinder, 5 speed manual, super cab, short box, dual tanks.
Sold it to buy a "family vehicle for the Boss", a 1998 Windstar.
She's pretty damn good with a stick too - LOL!

Some snow fun before a Fat Tire MTB snow storm ride
Dump run
That angle makes it look as long as a bus.
Gave the tow/recovery rig it's annual spring bath so I thought I'd snap some pics while she's still presentable!

I am in love with this thing ever since the wheels and tires. Now just to fix how shitty it rides because of the level, lol
I need that trailer
Current daily driver a 300.00 truck
1966 F-250
405 Hp @ Tire by 4500 rpm then boost dropped off so stayed flat
532 TQ @ tire by 3000 rpm
13.03 quarter mile @ 104.57 mph
quarter was leaving at idle with poor traction, hot temps and poor DA.
25 MPG if I drive it nice . .
Ya, Its a V-6 with tune only . .
Before:
As it sits now: 5000 street miles so far including AutoCross, Drag Strip, MPG testing, Towing 8500 lbs.
Illustration what it will look like when finished.

Building another 1966 F250. 2015 3.5 Eco Powered, 6R80. Dana 60 with 3.54 gears. Hoping for 475 hp @ tire and a 11.99 or better 1/4 mile.
Old picture. Done a little bit of cosmetic changes here lately. Tuned, deleted. Runs like a scalded ape. Next is fuel system and eventually a new turbo.
