Question:
How much can I tow? I see Conflicting info - Side panel says 6750 but does that include the optional tow package rating? I read that it can tow over 7100. It is a 5.4L V8 with tow package. Looking to tow a 2019 Lance 1985 2003 F150 with Tow package Supercrew 4x4 3.73

According to the owner's manual for your 2003 Ford F-150, the towing capacity for a SuperCrew model with the 5.4 engine, 4x4 drive train, and 3.73 gear ratio is 8,200 lbs. This is listed on page 168 if you would like to take a look for your self. If your F-150 came with the towing package then you most likely already have a trailer hitch and wiring but you might not have a brake controller and suspension enhancements which you will need for a trailer over 5,000 lbs most likely.
For a brake controller, I recommend the Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller part # 39510 with the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter part # 3035-P because this is a very reliable, plug and play option that won't break the bank. For suspension enhancements, I recommend the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TFR1525HD because they are easy to install, do not require maintenance, and are one of the most poplar options on the market for this truck.
