There’s lots of discussions around the best towing and hauling setups, and as someone who is both a professional in the auto industry and a heavy towing and hauling user, I wanted to sharing my setup for towing and hauling with my 2017 Ford F-150.
In the video I do say I max out towing and hauling. While I get right near max payload for hauling, TECHNICALLY you can get heavier in the trailer. However, with kids in the car, and keeping approx 10% trailer weight on the tow hitch, I hit max payload when pulling a trailer as well.
Setup is on a 2017 F-150 Max tow Lariat with 3.5L Eco Boost.

- Bilstein 5100s: https://amzn.to/45lNwbc
- Andersen Hitch: https://amzn.to/3kea2NH . I bought the 8” drop because I had a lifted F250 at the time, but it is not needed on my F150. Its worth noting too that my hitch is way older than my truck.
