    We have a 2016, F-150, SuperCab, 3.5 EcoBoost, 36 gallon, Max Tow, 12,200 towing capacity, 2,061lbs payload.

    We also tow a 2950 RL.

    It does the job just fine.

    With that being said, we live in Florida and are weekend warriors so only travel within an hour or 2 from home and this truck is my husband's daily commuter so daily mpg and getting around in a congested part of Orlando that we live in is important right now and will be for the next 4 - 5 years.

    We've only owned the 2950RL for about 4 months and only have a few miles on the road and if this was all I was going to do, the F-150 would be fine. The 2950RL gives us plenty of room to have our friends and family come visit and stay with us while camping.

    I would upgrade to at least an F-250 Super Duty for longer commutes that would include mountainous terrain. We've already discussed that if we keep the 2950RL then we will upgrade the truck in 4 - 5 years when we plan to hit the road as a snowbird and live in our Imagine for 6 months out of the year traveling to the national parks and mountains up north, or we will get a smaller Imagine like the 2500RL and keep the truck.

    So, you should ask yourself how you plan to use your 2950RL and where you plan to go?

    We have 2600RB and a 5.0 f150 similar payload to yours. Towed fine in flat FL highways however I personally wouldn't want to tow much more than that with it. We just got it so that may change as I get more experience towing it.

    I just switched from a 2013 F150 ecoboost to an F350 to tow a fifth wheel. That being said, the ecoboost was incredible at towing my Jayco 314BDS. It ran about 9'500 pounds. I absolutely love the power and technology in the ecoboost.
