I just purchased a 2017 ATC aluminum 8.5x20 toy hauler and pull it with my 2015 F150 XLT 2WD with the 5.0 V8.
Dry weight of the trailer is about 5,500 with a tongue weight of 750. With a full tank of water (100 gallons), gear, and possibly my 400lb motorcycle, I would anticipate average trailer weights of about 7,250 lbs. Max weight is 7,700.
I installed a 1,000/10,000 WD hitch and it pulls beautifully with no sway, lurching, or much adverse effects when passing/getting passed by big rigs.
That being said, even with the tow rating of 10K lbs. for the truck and around 2K lbs cargo/tongue capacity, this is about as big as I would be comfortable towing with my current truck. I've never been a big fan of towing anywhere close to "max" capabilities of any vehicle.
