Thanks, dodgeguy. I may be overthinking again, but as I stated I am not as concerned with the weight as I am with the length of the rig.
I am not saying that the tow will be a breeze, I am certain the engine will be working, but I am more concerned with sail effect at this time.
Thanks again.
The truck will have no problems pulling what ever Ford tow rating is.....BUT with some of the new high GVWR F150 with the high gvwr based payload. Some owners have reported being under their gvwr or payload number but over on the trucks RAWR which is the biggest safety concern.
Some folks chose the wrong 1/2 ton truck to pull their trailer and for some reason make the wrong assumption all 1/2 ton trucks are the same as the one they chose. It helps to be informed.
Truck makers tow rating are for all types of trailers...not just a rv trailer. Your truck would have no problems pulling my 10k car hauler as we can load the trailer in a way to keep the truck under its rear axle/tire load ratings.
We need the trucks
gvwrGVWR and its
rawrRAWR to make a informed decision if the truck can carry the load involved with a large TT.
