Best trailer to tow behind F150
Hello everyone; Sold my Class A bought a boat now looking for a travel trailer. I have a Ford F150 with a super cab and an ecoboost engine. What would be a great trailer with slides to pull behind ...

In truth. The limiting factor is the rear gear. MANY EcoBoosts come with a 3.06 rear gear. Not good for towing much of anything. You need at the very least a 3.55. that will get you up to 9500lbs depending on 4x4 or 4x2. A 3.73 would be much better. A 3.73, 4x2 can get you to 11,000lb tow cap.
I know of course the salesman told you it would tow 11K. They told me that as well. I just laughed and told him he didn't have one on the lot that would tow 11K. The most he had was ONE 3.55. the rest were 3.06
Hmmm... The vast majority of F150's sold up here are 3.55 4WD units. I see a pretty even split of the Ecoboost and the 5.0L V8.
