For most trailers and fifth wheels, a F150 is not powerful enough. You will need to get a truck that can pull more weight. Also, do not get a truck that can just barely pull the weight. You want a margin so that pulling is comfortable. Also remember that you need to take into account the weight of trailer or fifth wheel and then add in the weight of what you carry in it. First decide on the trailer or fifth wheel and then decide what truck you need.
