F-150 Crew Max Tow vs. Hideout 30ft TT
Ok, my current truck is a 2013 F-150 4x4 Crew Cab Max Tow. GVWR on the truck says 7650 lbs overall. Best I could deduce from the lovely Ford Towing Guide is that overall towing capacity would be 11,20...

It is also about length. The longer the trailer, the more side wall area and also, the more of a pendulum effect from the trailer.
When pass or meet a truck, they are producing a bow wave much like a boat in the water. When that bow wave hits the back of the trailer, the longer the trailer time times the force from the bow wave, the more push back on the hitch on the back bumper.
All of you 1/2 ton folks, a 1/2 ton is suitable for pull a trailer, but it will be a smaller trailer. So I wish y'all the best and hope I do not meet the 30' plus TT and your 1/2 ton truck.
