Half ton family RVing with a half ton is usually payload limited. Some half tons with 10k+ tow rating have under 800 pounds of payload and some have over 3000.

Note what is listed where mine says 2051. Everything else will take care of itself. Each brand with the common V8 and Ford's Ecoboost with respective HD towing packages are all very capable for pulling TTs.
