[QUOTE="TriGui, post: 1845283, member: 61611"] Hey guys. Question for anyone who has experience towing with a GEN 3!! Mainly looking for Gen 3 experience since the rear end had a redesign. I've always wanted a raptor. For years. I'm finally in a position where I can swing it. But.... I'll also be towing a wake boat. It's about 6200 lbs on the trailer, dry. Figure another few hundred worth of gear and food in the bed. Another few hundred of my self, wife, and small kids in the cab. Weight distribution hitches are not really an option with the trailer. Does anyone here have any experience pulling a boat like this with their gen 3s? I've seen gen 2s doing it and there's some sag. Gen 3s have the re design so Id assume it'll sag even more. I know the tow capacity is 8200, but I'm concerned about the sag. It'll be about a 20 minute commute to the lake, dozens of times a year. MAYBE one trip a year going 8 hours one way. Any input would be great, pictures of your G3 towing 7k would be even better. [/QUOTE]
