SORRY WRONG TRAILER
this is the one we are looking at

If Not what the max i should be looking for

 

That's pusing the envelope, IMHO.

You are not gonna be happy towing that any distance with an F150.

 

not safely
a biger truck
when some SOB cuts you off Your truck can't handle the load your going to ask it to (STOP or TURN) just look next to you and ask yourself if you want to put them at risk?
IMO Frank

 

technically your truck can tow it. but loaded down for a trip and i think i would agree with the others on safety.

 

Little on the big side of a 150

 

Too much trailer for any 1/2 ton truck unless you will only be pulling it twice a year to and from your remote site. This is not something you want to be hauling cross country or every weekend. I'd look at getting a smaller trailer or a bigger truck.

According to their numbers you'll be overloaded in all but a couple of F150's

 

You can pull it as long as you have a brake controller and your hitch. I wouldn't take a cross country run with it because it will cost in gas. I guess it just depends on how far you plan to pull it. If you just plan to take it maybe to the lake or campground (being an hour or two away) it will be fine.
My travel trailer it heavier than that and i have pulled it with my 150 several times. although I don't do it much anymore because I have a powerstoke that does my dirty work for me.

 

The GVWR of the TT is fine for your truck. It's the tongue weight you need to be concerned with. At over 800 lbs. advertised tongue weight, you will likely be over 1000 lbs loaded up with batteries, propane, clothes and shoes in your bedroom cabinets, etc. which will exceed your stock hitch rating.

Since the TT is a rear kitchen model, you can manage tongue weight by loading more stuff toward the rear of the TT. But be sure that you maintain at least 10% of the total GVWR of the TT as tongue weight to ensure towing stability. The TT you're looking at has a GVWR of about 8800 lbs. If you keep the tongue weight at 10%, then even if you load the trailer up to the max capacity, you won't exceed the truck's hitch rating.

I went through this same scenario with my TT that has a GVWR of 9000 lbs. I managed to keep tongue weight at 875 lbs. loaded and ready to travel. The truck handles the weight well and with the addition of air bags, I am able to stiffen the rear up a bit for more control.

 

3/4 ton diesel, maybe even a dually (1 ton)

 

uuhhh no. thats alittle much. give our trucks a little break.

 

It's really not that heavy, I have pulled my travel trailer (8100lb) on an 8 hour round trip with a 00 F150 ext cab with 3.55..just make sure you have a load equalizing hitch, and a brake controller.
If you have a load equalizing hitch it will spread the weight of the tongue across all four tires and keep it from swaying. Your brake controller will take care of any stopping issues. This travel trailer is perfectly in Ford accepatable ratings.
I would suggest asking the company that is selling your travel trailer if they though it is acceptable to pull that camper with an F150...where I live there is a huge lake and camping with travel trailers is a big deal around here and I see F150's pulling Captivas ultra lite models that size and bigger all the time.

 

I recommend RV's with GWVR under 7000 pounds for 1/2 ton trucks.

How many people will traveling in your truck? What's the payload sticker on the driver's side B-pillar say?

 

You WILL (not "might") be over one or more of the truck's ratings. Your call whether to do it or not, but I personally wouldn't except as I already indicated.

 

total weight of truck, trailer, people and gear is what we're saying is unsafe. tongue weight on that trailer is higher than average and thats why YDM was saying to put more gear in the back to not add tongue wt. you can tow it but not recommened for long hauls.
