There are guys on here and also on the F150 Forum that tow 5'ers with 1/2 tons. I find that some are over weight and others are close. I prefer to not be at the ragged edge and to have a sizable weight cushion which allows me to be able to take what I want camping. There's nothing worse than being maxed out.
