Recommended Quality Flat Towing Setup for 2013 Ford F-150 Lariat EcoBoost
Question:
I’ve tried towing my Fusion on a dolly. Sick of it. Please quote me everything I would need to dingy tow my 2013 Ford F-150 Lariat Crew Cab Eco-Boost pickup behind my Thor ACE 30.1 Motorhome. I don’t have to have the top of the line stuff but I do want quality components and ease of use. List it out for me.
