First time hooking the new truck up to the boat. '17 F150, 3.5L Ecoboost.

If I could help you spend some of your money. I put fox 2.o rear shocks on. My last ford did not have them. I put them on the first week I had the new one. It improves squat with a trailer and it takes away the bed hop went not trailering. The best 300 I spent on mods for my truck. 20170815_143201.jpgthe stock shocks I could collapse very easily. I put the new ones on without taking the tires off and it took two of us to collapse the fox shock and install

No drama towing up to 5000# - 900+ ft/#'s when needed - tow range 100-125 miles - Supercharging time to refill battery, 45 min. - great for short hauls - long hauls best with a truck.View attachment 69580
Do you actually tow with the Tesla? What version do you have? P90D?

Don't have a pic of the new one hooked up to the boat, because it hasn't been hooked up yetView attachment 17622 View attachment 17623 , but here it is anyway. 2015 Toyota Land Cruiser. Other tow vehicle is a 2005 Dodge 2500 quad cab diesel.
I realize this is an older post, but heck, those Land Cruisers don't change much (which is fine, it's an icon!)
Anyhow - just wondering what's your experience been with that car/truck!

Did you get the 6.2 or the 5.3? 6spd or 8spd? I love my '15 SLT (basically the Z71 version of the Denali)

@Ronnie That's a great looking 'gator! Those are great trucks!
And someone looks happy.

Going through the process myself right now. We almost got into an Expedition the other day but ended up going a different route. Probably should have looked harder and get a used navigator, except those just seem so hard to find in good shape.

I like it but it’s down on the list as I have only just opened this first set of mods that came in for the truck. My debit card is smoking so I have to let it cool down a little.

Sorry, just saw this! Patsy's Bay Marina in Stony Point, NY. Probably about 2.5hrs for you, but can't recommend them enough. Tried working through a number of dealers in PA/NJ, and Jim not only had a heck of a price on it, but was actually easy to communicate with. 95% of it was done via email.
