I just bought a 1997 Ford F150 Supercab 4wd, 4.6 engine. I am wanting to tow an older 25' camper. I was told that the camper weighs 7800 lbs. I have been told that I need to add a Reese hitch and an anti-sway bar. The truck has a GVWR of 6000. I am willing to add these things, but I just want to be sure the engine could handle the tow. Does anyone know?
