Planning on buying a 25' enclosed snowmobile trailer. Curb weight of trailer ios 3,300lb. and GVWR of 7,600lb. I am guessing my GVWR will be around 6,000 with all sleds and gear loaded up. My truck is a 2006 F-150 FX4 w/ 5.4 w/ 3.73 gearing. I have added a leaf in the back and a spacer in the front. I also plan on using a weight distributing hitch. I know my truck won't win no races pulling this trailer.

Has anyone pulled a trailer like this behind a similiar F-150? What can I expect? What can or should I do to make the towing experience easier on me and my truck (chip, heavy duty shocks, etc)?

Thanks in advance
Jeff

 

These are large wind blocks behind your truck. We have sold a few and even empty they will sag the back end of a 3/4 ton truck. Not only are they 25' long but 8' wide also. To clear tire wells they are as high as a high-boy flat bed trailer. This makes them huge wind blocks that even diesels have stress pulling at highway speeds.

Can you pull it...sure
Will you win any speed contest....not even on flat ground

If you decide to go this route, get the WD and sway bars installed and leave with plenty of time to make your slow trip pulling the trailer.

 

I think you have done most everything possible that you can do. Keep it out of overdrive while going up and down hills (only use it on flat ground). Good luck and safe towing.
