Towing a ZR-1, how much towing capacity? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I've got a '97 F-150 single-cab, flareside with the 4.6L Triton V8 and a 5-speed manual tranny. It's also got a 6" lift on 35" tires. I've towed many cars with it (including my ZR-1 from Laguna Beach, CA to Fresno, CA) and even a loaded 22ft toyhauler all the way to Pismo one time.

Never had any major problems, it's the most reliable vehicle I've ever had considering what I've put it through. The biggest job (other than normal maintenance) I've ever had to do on it engine-wise is replace the power steering pump. And it's got 138K on it.
