Need advice
Hi, We're looking for our first RV and have come across a used truck/5th combo at a local dealer that is selling on consignment. The 5th is a 2008 Jayco 27.5rks that appears in very good shape inside...

Mark, towing a FW is more about payload, than weight being pulled. Without the 7-bolt wheels, E-rated tires, an F150 can easily be over rawr, and tire rating.
A dry pin of 1300, will be at least 1500, with just regular load in FW. You have to add 200#s more for the hitch, plus anything in truck, family, gear, etc.
When you look at tire loading chart in the truck, it will tell you how much load, this truck, can safely carry.
If you like the FW, maybe buy it, and get a used 3/4 ton to tow it. If the FW has been cared for, it could last another ten years, with continued care.
