[QUOTE="Reptar, post: 1117239, member: 1883"] Well it is also a truck, so maybe he bought a Raptor because he wanted an offroad capable vehicle that could also do truck stuff, like haul and tow, which they can do too ya know. If you're only towing occasionally, and within the tow ratings of the Raptor, there's really not a need to buy an F250. The F250 will tow better of course, but if the tongue weight is setup properly and the payload within ratings, there's no problems towing with a Raptor. So you were just going off the tongue weight that the trailer says it has? That's nowhere near accurate if you load the front half of the trailer with all the heavy stuff and nothing in the back end. Definitely need to scale it. I'd put money on it that it's way more tongue weight than you think. I can stick 500+ lbs of engine and transmission and everything else in the bed of my truck and it doesn't squat anywhere near that bad. 300 lbs of tongue weight is not going to make the *** end sag that much. Have 2 full grown adults stand on the rear bumper, that'll be a quick easy idea of what ~400 lbs of tongue weight would look like for suspension sag. The truck is NOT going to drag *** like that [/QUOTE]
