I'm curious about towing on mine. I have a 2010 XLT and do have the towing package as far as I can tell. 7 pin connector, etc. But, I have a 3.31 rear end... What should I expect to be able to tow with that? I know a 3.73 would be much better, but am thinking about a bumper pull travel trailer. How much trouble is it with the 3.31?

So far I haven't towed much above some fairly loaded up 5x10 U-haul trailers. No issues there, but was thinking a 25' bumper pull would be fun for my wife and I to get away from the kids. That would fit in the driveway, so I wouldn't have to pay storage. Just not sure how the 3.31 rear handled something that size. Mostly flat in TX, but I can see some NM and CO trips if I get it.
