Did some towing today

Did some towing with the ST today. I towed my parents 24' pontoon boat from the lake to their house. ST handled VERY well. I wish it had more power going up the hills but it towed the load pretty well. Below are some pics.

I have often wondered how well my '04 would pull my dads 24' pontoon. I have always let someone else do it when we go up to the lake.

It's amazing how small the ST looks compared to the boat in the second pic.

Question.. couldnt you put over load leaf springs on the sport trac. so that when you hitch up the trailer the back of the ST wont sink down, and it would make the sporttrac look more level.. my dad did that to our crew cab F250 years ago.. so it could bare the load.. of the trailer and the load of the camper when he put that on.. just wondering.. might be a foolish question. but im just wondering..

ladybug,



IMO, it is better to do what I did. Get airbags on the back. When no load, let the air out and it is like there is nothing installed. If you need to level it out, just add air until level.



I have them and I absolutly love it.

Or, by a hitch with load level bars. Still dips but not anything like the pics shows.

Yes if I towed a heavy load as shown more often I would definitely invest in some airbags for the rear. But even without, the ST still handled pretty well.

Looks like you have a lift and bigger tires, so that will slow it down especially when towing, until you regear it.

Very nice pics of the ST. I've towed sevearl similar sized boats. The lack of power is noticable, but not a significant problem. The handling and braking is quite good, despite the size difference between the trailer and the ST.
