Looking to purchase a 2013 TTS RWD- will pull my 2 horse slant load?

This vehicle will be my primary driving vehicle and for hauling my 2 horse slant on occasion- usually with 1 horse. Right now, driving 2009 (King Ranch) Ford F150- with 4 wheel drive.

What do I need to be concerned about if anything, with RWD and no 4-Wheel drive?

What is the TSS package?

Truck has fairly low miles for a 2013- only 61K

Also, what is your opinion on the backup camera in the rear-view mirror? How well does this work for backing to hook a trailer?

Any thoughts or opinions?

thanks!!!

 

Not sure about TTS, TSS is a Gulf coast states package, 20" wheels, stickers, maybe a few more adders.

Rear view camera works fine, it is just smaller screen than 7" display from a radio. It could be moved to a new HU/radio if desired.

4wd always better if offroading.

Welcome!

 

showing my newness...it is TSS..... thanks!!

 

How much does the trailer and horse weigh? My brother in law has a horse and trailer and said his f-150 struggled with the tongue weight. He bought a used F250 to handle it.

 

The backup camera is only useful for connecting up your trailer. Other than that you'll just see the front of your trailer when reversing. Side view mirrors are what you'll be using.

How often did you use 4wd with your F150? I would say that would be your best way of determining if you need it.

Not knowing how much the trailer weighs or how much tongue weight it has when loaded makes it hard to answer. I personally like using a weight distribution hitch even when I could get away without it. I just like the way it feels. As long as your trailer loaded doesn't exceed what the Tundra is rated to tow (Toyota is pretty conservative with their ratings) I wouldn't worry.
