RE: Ecoboost 3.5L towing
Speaking my from own personal experience with 9k miles on the EcoBoost thus far, I have seen zero problems and the truck tows like a little beast.

RE: How many of us towing 5th wheel with a 1/2 ton truck?
So getting back to the OP's question... let's assume you have a TV with a 2,450 lb payload capacity, a GVWR of 8,200 lbs and a GCVWR of 17,100 lbs. Curb weight of TV is approximately 5,750 lbs. Front GAWR is 3,750 lbs. Rear GAWR is 4,800 lbs.
Would a FW with a dry hitch weight of 1,375 lbs and a GVWR of 9,950 lbs be too much of a stretch for this TV and if so, what specifically is your concern?

RE: Jensen Entertainment Center Problem
Make sure you don't have an alarm set. That will turn the unit on when you think it's powered off.

RE: Portland Maine to Richmond Virginia
We just came back through there on the return leg from a trip from Houston to Portland. I had a planned stop in New London. 95 was fine through New London, CT but I wanted to avoid NYC so I headed west to Danbury then south on 684 to 287 via the Tappen Zee bridge. From there I took 78 west to Harrisburg.
It looks like you could rejoin 95 by taking 83 south from Harrisburg. If you also want to avoid DC, you could take 81 to 64. It's not the most direct but it will avoid some real bad traffic areas.

RE: disconnect batteries when hooked up?
Your converter also charges your batteries when you're hooked to shore power.

RE: Ecoboost 3.5L towing
--- snip ---
BTW, you blacked out your VIN in one spot and left it uncovered in the other, LOL. That's how I saw your window sticker & options. But I don't think it matters at all, everybody can read your VIN through the windshield anyway.
LOL!! I never noticed that before but you're right. We sometimes tend to get overly paranoid....

RE: Ecoboost 3.5L towing
Picking up our new Eco with Max Tow (11,300lbs)and HD payload (2,600lbs) options next week. Tough to convince owners with 3/4 and 1 ton trucks that this truck is spec'd to tow!
We are looking at fifth wheels that will come in between 8500-9000lbs loaded and ready to tow. Any worries?????
One guy on the F150 forum said he researched this pretty thoroughly and narrowed his choice to a Palomino Puma 295KBH. Here's a link if you want to read more: http://www.f150forum.com/f38/2012-fx4-pulling-our-new-5th-wheel-camper-158875/

RE: Ecoboost 3.5L towing
Where did you get the 2,600 lbs from? Is it from Ford's brochure / build & price page? If so, then expect the final number to be (quite a bit) lower, as you'll need to subtract all options.
This is my yellow sticker on a similarly featured truck...
