Best TT for F150 Ecoboost Shortbox?

That would make way too much sense. :) I am doing it backwards to see if I can by with my TV being my DD and my offroad vehicle! Depending how you look at it, I am either greedy or cheap. I am hoping to tow either a TT or a FW in the 27-30 range. It is looking like I may have to go with two vehicles.

for any Ford a teardrop is best ;-)
actually 900 pound tongue weight with about 6000 pounds on the trailer axles would be the limit for pleasant towing.
That would be a trailer with a maximum of about 8100 GVW or so .
Lighter and shorter is easier with any half ton .
900 tongue and 5300 # actual on the axles is better .
We focus on our outside camping , not the inside .
We carry a couple of EZ-UP Quick-Shades and do as much cooking and eating outside as possible .
Those with the awning give us more options for shade or downpours .
Shorter not longer .

HD Payload is not available on Crew Cab with 5.5' box, only with 6.5' box. Maxtow is available on either length of bed.

I may be trying to get too much out of one vehicle. I like to offroad and so would prefer the 145 inch f150 wheelbase Ecoboost. I get that it needs the max tow package and HD payload. But based on another thread I came across, the short wheel base could be an issue, though I don't quite understand why (RV newbie). What is the most TT I can tow? On another thread, someone with the EB said he went from a TT to a FW due to towing issues. Would that make more sense? Many thanks.

Shorter wheelbase vehicle may make trailer sway an issue. A lot of TT owners here towing w/ F-150 EB's. Hang tight, they'll be along to relate their experience.
