Well you ask for first hand experience. At this point I am on my third 3.5 f150 eco boost. The first two put about 75,000 miles and now have 32,000 on the 2017 model. Pulling trailers that heavy I have not , some where around 3,500 loaded on a car hauler a lot of miles. The thing that I might be concerned about is the 10 speed transmission but you could manually down to 7 or 8 and think things would be ok. Engine wise do not think you would hurt the engine. I have a hill of 2800 feet that rises about 530 ft in that distance and when I com in the drive I lock it down in one of the lower gears and when I hit the top heat is never an issue but does turn on the fan. . ON a side note FORD ask me to come test drive the new F150 with the v 6 diesel a while back. Ran a 34 mile course to simulate city and interstate driving then took it back and hooked a trailer with 3500 lb on it and ran the same course, then did the same with the 3.5 EB. The eco boost from 50 mph to 80 will eat the diesel lunch. Pulling the trailer the diesel MIGHT be a tad longer winded in a hill but not much. My take no real reason the spend the extra mone for the diesel.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
