I’m pulling a 5500 33ft TT with a 4.6L V8 F150 and it is not fun. The truck is rated at 6900 lbs and we are at 6800. I got the trailer in December for a smoken deal and it’s the model we wanted. We have about 5 beautiful campgrounds within 1 hour and its flat driving. I also drive 55 and keep large amounts of room in front. I’m getting the Max Tow EcoBoost or an F250 6.7L in September. I’d say if you’re only going an hour or so and it’s flat and you know you’re going to upgrade the truck very soon go for it. Otherwise speaking from experience, don’t. The truck itself feels ok, Heck it’s the same truck as the Ecoboost that hauls 11300 lbs but your power will suffer. If you hit a hill prepare for 2nd gear at 45-50 mph and white knuckles.
