Ok what will this truck tow ??

That chart says 7500

Well, even with 4x4 it could still have a 3.31 rear end.. But, the 6 speed helps with that a little..

Sounds like it's just your standard "tow package" rig, which gives it a "tow rating" of no more than #9000 depending on the rear end gears.

All the info you need on the functions of the truck are in the owners manual. If you don't have the actual book in your glove box, you can get it online.

Look at the yellow sticker on the drivers door. That tells you how much you can load in the truck. Looks like you figured out the weight stickers, so the yellow one is in the same area.

I tow a #5000 22' TT with a Max Tow 13 F150... It has a "tow rating" of #11,000 but there is no way in heck I'd even come close to towing that much with my truck in a travel trailer format.

I've been towing trailers of all sorts since the mid 80's and this is what I feel comfortable with because I've towed overloaded before, and it's just more enjoyable to not be maxed out at my age now.. ;)

I would go to as much as a #7500 fully loaded travel trailer with my truck, but I don't really need that much trailer and don't really want to buy a new one now..

Anyway, I'd stick to around a #6000 GVWR TT for the most part to start off with and when you gain the confidence in that and feel you need to go bigger, well, that's where all the $$ start leaving your bank account! ha, ha!

Good luck!

Of all the information you provided none of it is useful at all in determining tow capacity. The only way to find that number is too look it up in the guide 2oldman posted for you.
After you find the number you have to realize that it's not that simple. There are many different kinds of trailer. Among them all I think that a hard sided RV is the most difficult to tow. It has a very high frontal area for wind resistance, a very large side area to induce sway, a high percentage of tongue weight, and very little ability to move weight around to change the tongue weight.
A truck that can easily handle a boat or flatbed trailer of 8,000 pounds may struggle mightily with an RV of only 6,000 pounds.
Another number you need, which you didn't provide, is payload. This is probably the most important number, particularly for a class 1 truck like yours, in determining how large an RV you can tow. After putting people and gear in the truck and accounting for the weight of a WDH you will likely find that you don't have enough payload left to account for the tongue weight of an RV that weighs near your published towing capacity. The only way most class 1 trucks can tow at their published number is with an empty truck bed, no passengers, and with a trailer like a boat trailer that has a rather small percentage of tongue weight.

Tell ya what, I’ve towed lots of heavy stuff with different engines, that 5.0 liter Ford is a pulling animal,,, for sure out pulled the 5.4 and the GMC v8 but I hear ya on trying to over do

I’m still leaning toward a motorhome...

As stated brake button on dash with two slide buttons, don’t know how it works though
Two people total weight 280 pounds
We don’t haul a lot of junk

Don't care how high ratings are on some 1/2 ton trucks. They just do not have the power to perform for the most part. I wouldn't tow over 5,000 pounds loaded tops even if the truck is rated well above. With a 5.0L engine it will struggle at heavier weights especially on long uphill grades.

I towed a 5,000lb hybrid with a 5.7L V8. Performed very well but would not be fun towing more.

That said, more critical to weight is frontal area and overall wind drag. A streamlined low profile trailer will tow easier even if somewhat heavier.

Oh, that should tow a 30 footer easy. :B
Sorry, couldn't resist, that's a dealer standard answer.
I would listen to the folks on here, never to a dealer who just wants to sell a unit, regardless of the tow vehicle you have. I would love to help you, but I have a MH so don't worry about towing anything except my toad.

4X4, probably 3.55 gears. Screw - how many people are you hauling, and how much gear in the bed? 1/2-tons run out of payload before hitting their towing capacity. So I'd be looking at a 24-25' trailer. Do you have the max tow package? Tow mirrors? Brake controller?

Better question, if you are only asking one, is “what will this truck carry?”

And the old rule applies, buy or select the trailer first.
