The Passport 2590 is very similar to the Jayco Jayflight 26H that I tow with my F-150 5.4 3.73. You should have no problems whatsoever. You will have some peace of mind that you can load er up a little more and still tow reasonably well with that setup. Good Luck and keep us posted.

I had a 2001 F-150 before I bought my Nissan. My trailer is a 27' Komfort 6400 dry and 7900 lbs. maxxed out. The 150 would tow it but we have some killer mountains out here and it was not a pleasent trip trying to keep things rolling at a reasonable speed. If that doesn't bother you, I guess it is OK. ...RVH

I have the F150 in sig with a 26' KZ that hits the scales at 7000lbs on the axles. With myself and family plus gear in the truck, over 900lbs in tongue weight I'm at the GCVWR of the truck at 15000lbs. Really from a performance view that's as much as you want with a F150.

I have a 31RKS Jayco, which I just pulled this weekend with my F-150. Trailer ready to go weighs 7,800 - 7900. Measured tongue weight was 960. Truck weight is about 6,150 with me, my wife, and small dog. Add in the tongue gets me to about 7,100. This combination pulls OK. I am able to get up to speed and drive at the posted speed limit, and I feel safe. What I find interesting is I am at 85% of the listed 9,300 pound towing rating. I can’t figure out though how I could get closer to that limit with out overloading the truck, while maintaining proper tongue weight. (not that I want too get heavier)
I also pull this with a 2500 HD GMC with the big 8.1 V8. This truck pulls the load better. Much better acceleration and even speeds up and down hills. The rear end of the truck seems more stable than the Ford I believe, which would make sense. I can actually load gear in this truck when I am pulling, unlike the Ford.

If, when completion of a design is imminent, field dimensions are finally supplied as they actually are, instead of as they were meant to be, it is always simpler to start over from scratch.

Ford like everyone else calculates max towing with one driver weighing 145lbs, full tank of gas and a 10% tongue weight.
Unrealistic at best but I guess you need somewhere to start.

I tow a 29ft tongue to bumper tt that weighs in loaded at 6200 lbs. I have an 06 F150 5.4 w/3:55. I have felt comfortable in all towing situations except very high winds. We have not traveled the Rockies but have pulled it about 4000 miles through the mid-west and Smokies (just big hills not mountains) I do not win any races but but get there just fine.

We pull our 30' TT with a E350 with the 5.4 also. We are able to maintain 65 mph without problems. Of course, we get 'bogged down' going up the bigger hills. But then again, we aren't trying to get there as quickly as we can. We get there when ever we can. Traveling the hills of WV, we would go down to 45 on I-79. However, the 'hill' from El Centro heading to San Diego (I-8), we got down to 30mph. Slow and steady, but we did pass a 'big rig' up that hill.
