2012 F150 Ecoboost Super Crew - Tow Package
We have a 2012 F150 Ecoboost Super Crew with the Tow Package. Are looking to change travel trailers. I am so confused as many dealers list trailers as half ton pullable with dry weights in the 7000 t...

I towed a 31' 7300 lb TT with a 2010 F150 Max Tow. Door sticker CCC was 1857 lbs. Tongue weight was 900-950 lbs. I had a canopy and all my gear in the truck. My GVWR was 7650 lbs. I routinely passed over the scales (Oregon) at 7600 lbs +/-.
MOST of the time I was fine. Ironically it was great in the mtns. It was out on the freeway in wide open areas where you get side winds that I had to focus harder. Upgraded to a 2500 and towing just got easier.
Here's the way I see it from my experience, if I had to do it again I'd stay in the 26' OAL and around 6000 lbs. It's just easier. Sure some will tow 8000 lbs and 34-35' OAL. Thats fine, but unless they're using a Hensley Arrow or Pro Pride hitch then I know exactly what it feel like inside the truck. It's not as easy as they say.
