My Questions:
Our trailer is a 2013 Jayco WhiteHawk 27 DSRL, max. loaded weight 7500 lbs. which makes the max. tongue weight in the neighborhood of 1125 lbs. The hitch to bumper length of is 31'8". We have a Reese StraitLine hitch with 800 lb. trunnion bars.
1. Does the F150 crew with V8 and either 3.55 or 3.73 rear axle and tow package have adequate payload/tow capacity to handle our trailer? When we travel, just the two of us and the cat, so we wouldn't be contributing much addition payload to the combination.
The F150 5.0 engine showpage 36-37 different supercrew cab trucks.
1. 6800-6950 GVWR with the small 3800 RAWR good for around 1400-1600 lb load in the bed.
2. 7550 GVWR with a bit heavier 4550 RAWR good for around 2000 lb load in the bed.
3. 7850HD GVWR and 4800 RAWR good for around 2400-2500 lb load in the bed.

Use Fords spec and play around with it. Lots of different engine options/gear ratios/GVWR/RAWR package on the F150 for a 10k trailer and under.
The newer F150's with 7850-8200 GVWR and higher RAWRs isn't our grandpa's old 1/2 ton truck......hmmm I'm a great grandpa so include my gen in there also.
