Welcome to the forum dizzy, and also welcome to the MS family.

Hope you enjoy yours as much as we have enjoyed ours for almost two years now. Live in it full-time and love it.

We too, pull with a Ford (the 6.0), which seems to have more than ample power for towing; am fixing to change the integral brake controller out for a "BrakeSmart" controller. You might want to keep an eye on this issue if you have the integral controller which comes with the Tow Package. It may leave you less than satisfied with braking in a panic stop!!

Another thing which we have just started doing is to shift the transmission like a manual so that you start in 1st gear and shift up as you desire. We were told by a fella who is in the truck performance business and tows a horse trailer/living quarters combination which weighs in the 23,000# range with an F-350. We have noticed on occasion some shutter when pulling off while in Drive gear and this has stopped that as well as getting us off from the go much quicker. Typically I up-shift at about 3000 RPM.

Sorry didn't mean to hijack the thread, just got goin and couldn't quit. Thought some of this might be of interest to Ford owners.
