Ford 150 ??
I'm just looking into possibly buying a small 5th trailer, under 25' in length. I know weight is a major consideration. Will a Ford 150 tow a small 5th wheel? if so, any recommendation on engi...

You should follow the advice of getting a camper first and then the truck. I started out with wanting to get a 24' or less but found out quickly that there's not much available in that size range. If you do find a smaller one make sure you check the weights out because something like an Artic Fox can be very heavy.
I finally found a 28' that I liked and the dry weight is 7,500 lbs. Fully loaded it's going to be quite a bit more. I think the Ecoboost specs say that it will haul it but my decision came down to safety. Now before you Ecoboost owners get upset please read all of my post. I'm not saying the Ecoboost is unsafe but I think the F-250 is safer. You can't ever be to safe. If I wasn't retired I may have considered the Ecoboost simply for the fuel mileage but since I don't drive a whole lot the fuel economy won't hurt me much. Another thing is even though I didn't price an Ecoboost I bet they command a premium.
Whatever you do good luck.
Just be careful if you are wanting to stay within the F250's 10,000# GVWR, may be better getting a F350 SRW. Basicly the same truck the F350 just has bigger numbers on the payload sticker.
