10000 Miles cross country towing F-150 Powerboost Lariat Max Tow Package

[Echin]

We sold our 2020 Lariat and bought this 2021 Powerboost and it did everything we expected and more. The truck drove very comfortably and quite (low RPM at hwy speeds). We used all the features that this model had that was not present on the 2020 Lariat. The longer range, the 4x4, the generator powered everything my Airstream could through at it. We had no issues boon-docking. Did have one issue after about 8k miles in Tow Haul mode getting stuck in 3rd speed and not changing up to 4.

What tow package is on yours if I might ask? Currently I have a 2021 XLT EcoBoost with the max tow (No trailer yet still researching) but may be swapping into a 2021 XLT PowerBoost with the Tow package (not max tow).

Most of the trailers that I've been researching are well below 7K LBS but just curious what I might miss (If anything for my use case) with the normal tow package.

Thank you for the write up.

I have the Max Tow Package, 4x4, with the backup assist. I am towing a 6000lbs Airstream without any issues. I visited the rocky mountains, Grand Tetons, etc. The Engine braking in Tow Haul mode was good. The RPM was low and the engine was quiet even while towing uphill.
