F150 - Over GVWR
Wife keeps wanting to buy a travel trailer and I keep telling her we have to get a small one. Like oil and water. So like so many other threads, here's my situation: 2011 F150 AWD 6.2L v8 3.73 ...

Op...great job on getting the actual numbers.
I loved my F150...loved that truck....
I ended up with a F350 Dually because overload situations are one of those things that keep me up at night. I know the F150 is capable...mine towed my 32 ft ft like a boss...yet I knew I was close.
Some people can live on the ragged edge of ratings...some can even live past the edge...some get by with it for years and years...others are not so lucky.
Funny thing about Mr. Murphy and Mr. Luck...neither are certain...but can be mitigated with proper planning...proper equipment...proper experience.
A HD truck helps you prepare for those days when Mr Murphy is riding in the truck with you...and Mr. Luck is on vacation... Then...when Mr Murphy strikes...is not the time to shop for the right vehicle....set up the hitch right..check the tire pressure...balance the load...no...when Mr. Murphy strikes you have to rely on your preparedness and your planning and your prep work.
Right move getting a Dually now...you will be able to manhandle the trailer when Mr. Murphy is there.
Thanks!
