True enough I have never maxed out that Featherlite v-nose, but the truck sure doesn't seem to know that it is pulling something from what I can tell. My 3.8 V-6 Buick has a hitch too which is kind of rare, but it only pulls the 5x8' utility trailer.



I had a Frontier with a 260hp/280tq 4.0 v6 and now an F-150 with a 320hp/390tq 5.4 v8 and there is no comparing the two with equivalent loads behind them. Generally speaking, hp is pretty irrelevant for towing.

You lost me on that. You can't compare 260hp to 320hp (I assume you mean that 320 is far better than 260) but hp is irrelevant for towing?
