That's probably a 3.55 rear end then, if you have the 4x4 SCrew 5L with 7500# tow capacity. AFAIK, the 3.15 rear end is only avail with the Ecoboost.

Here is a link I used when picking a truck to tow with.

As Goldstalker says IT WILL NOT BE FUN. And he sure is right.

Is that #6900 the trailers 'dry weight'? If so, that's going to be quite the load when you start putting stuff in it.

The 'tow rating' of the truck also assumes no other passengers or cargo. It also assumes you don't exceed any of the trucks other gross weight ratings.

Didn't know they had a 3.15 gear ratio, but I've not kept up with it all either..

It seems with the new 6 speeds. the rear gear does not mean as much any more, as one of the lower gears will turn the correct RPM, and deliver the power needed.

I wouldn't do it, won't be fun which is what RVing is all about. You will be over the 7500 loaded up. Also with those gears it won't be fun pulling any hills. I wouldn't recommend anything over 5500lbs dry weight with your truck.

Yea it says 7500. Does this include the hitch ,people in the truck and what's in the bed or just what's in the trailer?

If you check your owner's manuel you will have the engine size and rear end size with towing capabilities. I tow a 6100# travel trailer with my ecoboost F 150 and tow package and still have room to grow if I wanted to.
