Sounds like you're trying to talk yourself out towing... I've been towing with F150s (4 of them) for years: Keystone sprinter 31 w/3 slides 9K miles, Cougar 321RLS w/3 slides 39K miles, Reflection 313RTS w/3 slides 5K miles. I have upgraded to F250 since the tongue weight of the 313RTS exceeded the F150 rating with the W/D in it. I've regretted the upgrade as the F150 was a much better truck and towed so good. All my trucks were the Lariat model with tow, HD and snowplow package. Don't sell the F150 short, they are a very capable trucks.
