2002 F150, 5.0L I think, Triton V-8 only 246,000 miles transmission went out again, Last time the trans mission went out at 120,000 miles. Bought the truck to tow a trailer and it would barely and that is what killed the tranny the first time. Repair was fine until I had pulled a trailer a couple of times down from Montana
Thinking about buying another F150, but all I see these days are 6 cylinders advertised with towing packages. Yes I do understand that towing packages mean they all they did was add a hitch and trailer plug to an ordinary truck. But really, can you pull a trailer with these new 6's? How are their transmissions?
My Travel trailer pulling days are behind me, but I still need to pull a trailer with my UTV w/bowling ball mortar or a small boat.
