Can f-150 tow Winnebago One dry wt. 6580?
I have 1999 F-150, great shape. V-6 4.2L Long bed, heavy duty tow package and hitch. Can I pull a 2013 Winnebago One 29L Dry weight 6580 ?

First thing you need to do is to look at the yellow stick on the driver's door and see what weights are listed. Once you have those numbers, get the numbers on the trailer - specifically dry weight and carrying capacity along with the tongue weight.
Those numbers have much more to do with whether you can safely tow the trailer than the overall ability to "pull" it.
I can probably PULL my fifth wheel with an old Chev S-10 pickup, but I sure can't safely tow it.
You will get a lot of "OPINIONS" on here, but just make sure your numbers are within what the manufacturer of your vehicle says are safe limits. There will also be a lot of talk about being able to stop the trailer, but the trailer does have it's own brakes. That being said, your vehicle should be stout enough to stop it on it's own in an emergency situation.
After you get those numbers, you can feel confident about your ability to safely tow or not - no matter what people on a forum tell you.
