Advice on Ford F150 Ecoboost
Today I have a 1/2 ton Yukon XL Denali AWD. It does ok with my 6000lb lightweight TT here in the midwest but I dont really trust it across country and my tranny is getting close to needing replaced. ...

Summits,
Power wise the F150 will yank that 6k lbs around without any issues with the proper gearing. But to answer the question completely, we need more info due to possible payload issues of any 150/1500 tv.
How much is the total family weight?
How much cargo do you currently load in the Yukon: coolers, firewood, etc?
How much is your tw? For a 6k lb loaded trailer, could be ~720-900lbs.
As you are shopping, once a possible truck has been selected, look in the drivers door jamb for the yellow payload sticker. Will state "All occupants and cargo not to exceed XXXXlbs". Is the stated payload amount more than the total of the weights above?
If you buy a F150 with the Max Tow AND the HD Payload, you should be all set. But if you can't find the HD Payload package on a truck, then you may possibly have a payload issue depending on how the truck is optioned. Reason being is some members (here and on JOF) have posted about barely having 1200lbs of payload for their 150/1500. Just depends on each individual truck, and your needed available payload.
Good luck shopping!!!
