    Towing over weight.

    Hope and pray no one on this site is towing a trailer over weight or is over weight on their payload/hitch rating.

    I saw an F-150 towing a Freightliner semi (no trailer) down the road doing about 15mph. I was impressed.

    Yeah, toyota can tow a space shuttle. As long as it is flat or down hill once it's moving it takes no effort. A semi day cab is only 10,000 and the semi sleepers are approx 12,000 to 15,000 lbs. Short distance on pavement at 15 mph is no problem, my dead gramma's old mini van could do that !

    Ummm, that Tundra didn't pull the space shuttle, it was a marketing scheme. I don't think the Tundras max towing weight is 393,000lbs or whatever it said the weight on the commercial was. And I'm confused here, are you actually concerned about towing over weight or are you dissing Ford and saying Ford's can't tow more than their safe weight rating? It sounds like you're doing the latter to me.

    That's the impression I've gotten from his posts.
