Got a new tow vehicle

Since we just bought a new travel trailer it just seemed right to upgrade our TV as well. Out goes the 2006 Tundra and in comes the '15 F150. Went from 1,356 lbs payload to 1,850 lbs. The tow capacity went from 6,500 max to 10,700 max. We also have 16,100 lbs of GCVWR. I already love this 3.5l ecoboost! One more week till our first outing, I can't wait.

Friend has the same TV, but in red. He loves it. The only issue he has had is with the internal break controller module. He is now on his third one, all replaced under warranty. They have all failed while driving and applying brake.

Congrats on the new ride. The 2015s look a lot better than the older ones. Not as good as the GMs but a lot better than they did lol... Seriously though it looks nice.

I've had this tow vehicle for awhile but I have never shown it on this site. Camper is only 17 x 7 but capable of sleeping 6-8 adults.
