I'm interested in getting input from anyone who has had experience with an F150 with the payload package and either the Ecoboost engine or the V8. I'm curious about what Ford add's to give it the increased payload rating. I currently own a '99 F250 4x4 Superduty and have had my Grandby Shell on full time. Sometimes, I also tow a trailer in the 3,600 - 5,200# range while the Grandby is on the truck. I'm considering selling the Superduty and another vehicle that I use as a daily driver to get one rig for both applications. If I went this route with an F150, I'd remove the Grandby when towing. I read the F150 can be a great tow rig for a trailer this size but am curious about how it would handle a Grandby Shell, assuming it has the payload package. Also like to know about MPG realized with a camper or when towing, as well as for daily driving without a camper or when towing. From research I've done, it appears one can get the F150 with a variety of gear ratios, so any feedback on that is also appreciated.
