Hey guys and gals, new to the forum and new to the trailer life in general.

I have a 2013 f150 fx4 screw with the ecoboost engine and the 3.73 gears. We've been looking at a couple travel trailers and the Prime Time Manufacturing Tracer Ultra Lite # 3150bhd has caught our eyes.

The trailer comes in at 6,955 lbs base weight and 706 lbs hitch weight. The sales guy says my truck will pull this without a problem as long as I use an equalizer hitch. I want to believe him but he knows we like the trailer and could be saying this just to make a sale?

We are a family of 4 with a small dog and are looking forward to camping, but don't want to be buying a trailer that's gonna be to much for my truck.

Here's a link to the Tracer 3150bhd

Thanks.

The 3.73's make me think you have the Max Tow package which if that is the case you would have absolutely no problem towing that trailer.

What is the payload rating on the yellow sticker inside the door jamb?

Payload sticker 1162lbs and I'm sure I don't have the max tow. Looking at the window sticker I have the trailer tow package, it looks like it's standard on the fx4. Looks like I also have the 7200 GVWR package.

Thanks for all the help on this. Our goal for this trailer was to get a seasonal site next year to park it on, but this year we have 3 different week long trips planed. I know the truck will pull the trailer, but will I be legal and comfortable doing it is the question.

If I could find a trailer with the same layout but 3 feet shorter/lighter we wouldn't be having this talk.
