2011 ford f150 with ecoboost

Excellent questions regarding payload. Assuming that is okay, another thing to consider is how far will you tow, and in what conditions. A short tow to a local campground for the weekend is different than an extended tow across the plains in spring when the wind is howling. It is fresh on my mind that heavy crosswinds,long trailers, and light trucks are not a pleasant combination. In calm winds, my rig tows great. But, about a week ago, I pulled from Destin, FL to Breaux Bridge, LA in a wind that was mostly 20 mph, with gusts to 30. Not fun!
