does anyone here own a Ford F-150? I'm planning on buying a 1998 next
week it has 60,000 miles, 4.6 triton v-8 just wanted to know a little
about them. I will be towing a 1997 20 javelin w/ a 200 johnson.


I towed 4400# boat with a 99 Expedition, same engine. Will tow fine, but
they do like gas. Most I ever got was 16.5 mpg without towing. Outside
Calif, probably 10% more milage.

I had a '98, 01, 03, and now an '04, what's that tell you. Great boat
pulling truck.

I have a 99" 150, with the V-6, I only tow an 18" Tracker weighted about
2400lbs. It does just fine, I live in the mountains of North Carolina and
Fish South Carolina most of the time, so up and down the mountain usually
whenever I go out, it is a great truck.

I have a 97' 150 4x4 with x-tra cab and the 4.6 and I tow a 17' Ranger
with 115ob and I think the total package weighs somewhere around 3000+. I
have near 140,000 miles and I have no problems. Not only does the truck run
as good now as when it was new, it also pulls the boat up big hills with no
problem. I only hope you're talking about a 4x4 though. I'd hate to get
stuck on a launch ramp with some mud in a 2 by.
