Seems that a lot of trailer towing folks think there is safety in numbers...the more people doing it wrong makes it less wrong. Problem is that premise does not work in reality.
So if you feel comfortable towing the 35' with a little 1/2 ton truck, go for it, but please be careful.
A lot of these so called 1/2 ton experts that are towing heave, have never tried towing with a larger truck and have zero experience to make comparison. Another issue is the time or distance towed. Several years back there was a fellow offering all sorts of towing advice and come to find out, his "experience" was base on an annual pull from his house to his summer site at the beach...a whopping 35 miles.

I have a wife and two kids that mean everything to me and you make it sound like I'm putting there lives in danger every time we take a trip! My old truck was a F350 Powerstroke so I have towed with a heavier truck. And I can honestly say I still prefer my F150. I have the Max tow pkg with the 157" wheelbase and i feel it's a perfect match for my trailer.
