So I had a 2013 F-150 Crew Cab Max Tow and rushed into purchasing a 35ft TT. The truck handled the 9600lb trailer with 1300lb tongue weight admirably, but I could tell I was undersized after making a few trips.
Will it do it? Yes.
Will you be pleased? Maybe to start.
I upgraded my truck because once I got the new trailer I wanted to take longer trips. I wasn't comfortable going on a 2,000mi ride with it. A 200mi ride, I could bear it
GVW of his TT is 12,100#....quite a bit heavier than your 9600# TT.
True. I am thinking we will try to keep the GVW of the trailer low right now as we figure out the TV over the next few months. The 2015 F-150 has higher tow and payload capacity than the 2013 and 2014 did too (assuming he had the 3.4L EcoBoost, not the 5.0L V8), but still 9600 is less, and I hear ya.
unloaded weight, which I detest using is just a little over 8100#, so , depending on how much you load up, (ie 1500#), then you would fall in at the 9600# weight other poster was talking about....
