Best Tow Setup? New 2021 F150 Max Tow Package - Aftermarket Shocks - Roadmaster Active Suspension
In this video the Mizer brothers test the Roadmaster Active Suspension system on Sam's new 2021 F150 with the Max Tow Package from Ford. Sam's new 2021 f150 already has Falcon Sport Tow/Haul shocks installed and that has made towing his camper to the mountains much better than stock. The addition of the Roadmaster Active Suspension system takes Sam's new 2021 F150 towing to the next level.

Best product I ever used for towing. RAS is the first thing I put on my 2016 F150. My wife even noticed how well it towed after I put them on. Thanks guys keep up the great vids.

Really appreciate your unbiased, thorough and informative review. Definitely helps me making this purchase. I have a 2018 F150 Max Tow and I tow a 35' TT. I've towed 40,000 miles across 38 states and 9 provinces. Sounds like these will make a noticeable improvement and benefit towing greatly. Thank you for your videos.

@tmcgee1554 3 жыл бұрын

I'd be interested to see what your thoughts are on the Hellwig helper springs. I installed them on a previous gen F150. They improved the squat greatly when towing, but the ride is definitely firmer and almost jarring when empty. I think that is partially due to the way they have to be installed on my truck. In the directions, you are not supposed to torque down the clamps at the outer most points where they mount to the stock leaf springs, which would make the empty ride better, as you would not be putting much pressure on the stock leafs. But I discovered (ask me how) that if you don't torque them down, the helper springs contact the frame when you have a heavy load on them. I contacted the Hellwig and they confirmed they need to be torqued down due to clearance issues, but I am wondering if that problem has been cured with the current gen F150. Good review of the RAS!

Been using RAS for over 10 years on multiple F-150's towing two Airstreams 1st 26' and now a 28', I have towed all over America. They are the best! Next week installing the set I took off my 2018 trade on my new 2021 F-150 4X4 Hybird Limited. On the F-150's I have owned since 2010 till present, some had Max tow and some did not, they were all 4X4 and like on my limited where MaxTow is NOT an option RAS will be very much welcomed for towing. When towing and as well solo, RAS gives a solid "race car" feel by almost eliminating body roll while cornering. In Love for over a decade. Highly recommend

Hey, how do you still like your powerboost? I'm looking at getting a 2021 powerboost hybrid and I have a camper that's about 7,800lb loaded. I was worried about fuel mpg towing that weight. I'm hoping it gets better Than 11 mpg. I'm also thinking about a new f250 diesel tremor. Any information would be great. Thank you.

@toneseeker4968 Жыл бұрын

Hallelujah, Guys!! Excellent review! In fact, this is the best video on this subject that I have seen on youtube, so far, and I have been searching diligently on this subject for the last 3 months, afraid to actually pull the trigger on purchasing any particular product, though. Like you mentioned, so many gimmicks and less than spectacular products out there. I have a 2005 2WD 4.6L F-150 SUPER CAB (with only 72K original miles) that has a maximum tow capacity of 6800 lbs, which is fine for my purposes. I just want to be able to tow a 5800 lb custom enclosed Cargo trailer, no more than 250 miles each way, about 4 times a year. Stock, the way it is now, won't cut it. All I want to do is beef up my stock truck so that it can more easily and safely pull the maximum weight that this truck is rated to pull...no more. So, after watching this video, I'm thinking just a great set of Bilstein shocks (I can't afford those Falcon's that you have), the Roadmaster Active Suspension system, a $200 +/- level kit, and a good weight distribution system should cut it. Would it also be worth it to add a better bump stop with these improvements, as well? Thank you boys (said with respect) for posting this video. Viewed, liked, and subscribed!

@BackroadDriver Жыл бұрын

It absolutely still helps. Getting a few hundred pounds off of the hitch and helping to keep the rear end higher doesn't hurt at all. The spring rate under load is still increased and helps keep the load more stable and controllable. A weight distribution hitch should be used in conjunction with the RAS if possible.
