Who did the trailer wiring, I've not been under mine to find the wires for the 7 pin, but I'm aware there is a round socket with 4 at the drivers side over the axle.
@komahoby Actually, I don't think these do come with a 6 cylinder. I know E150's do. I have an E150 with a 300ci straight 6, but I don't think the E350 comes with anything smaller than a 5.4L v8. My E150 is seriously underpowered with the 6 cylinder. It runs fine at driving speed, but accelerating is a drawn out process. I can't imagine driving something even bigger with that little motor. Of course, I've got 250 000 miles on it. It might have been a more willing 200 000 ago. hahahaha
@rainfice0629 Yeah those idiots put that little V6 in them, they blow head gaskets before 100,000 you can expect it with it. I towed a Mustang on a steel car trailer from Nashville to NC with my 15 passenger 5.4, it was modded with exhaust and tuning at the time, loaded with belongings, I got 14 MPG running 75-80, no slowing on hills, in fact it was accelerating up the long pull after the rest stop. I've modded my intake since mileage is down, likely needs cleaning, been 10 years
We took it through the Rockies last year and only really slowed down on a very few climbs. Never overheated even with the a/c on pulling the 11k trailer. Still only have 34k miles on it so i expect to have it for at least another 5-6 years.
I had two 03 E150(bought new) with the 4.2 v6 that I put 250000 miles on with no problem until I traded them nov 07 on two 08 E150s with the 4.6 v8 I have 114000 miles on one and 89000 on the other so far no problem with these ones except the 08s has such a stiffer ride then the 03s did.

you shouldn't tow anything over 10,000LBS even if you have the V10 and the good rear axle.

Nice, I use a V10 E350 as a work truck.
I tow 10K all the time, but on nothing more than hills. How does it do on steep climbs?

Nice, it looks great! What year?
Mine has 167,000 miles and the V10 is still going strong, but the body looks like a 10 year old work truck.

My E350 is pretty rough, but I expected that since it's a high capacity unit.
And last summer when gas was over $4 and diesel was over $5 I was sure happy to have the gas version - 7,000 miles worth.
I don't use the van much except for pulling the camper. Only have 35,000 miles on it total, so it's still in great shape.
