The Ecoboost is rated at something like 11,500 pounds maximum, but that is when there is no passengers in the truck, nor cargo in the bed.
Only the max trailer towing package ones, and GCWR is over 17k pounds for that package. Otherwise, some tow ratings are as low as 8000 pounds depending on cab/bed/axle ratio. His is 9700.
Payload sticker 1162lb...I figure our family with dog= 550lbs and 150 lbs gear max.
That's your limit. 1162-550 for family+dog is only 612 pounds for trailer tongue weight with an empty bed.
Plenty of engine, power, and even wheelbase. Not enough suspension/payload for family + 900 pounds of TW.
