F150 for "light" towing
so my wife is convinced she wants to replace our aging Dakota with a new f150 we have a 3000 lb(dry) 22 ft tt, we may replace it something heavier(better construction), but no bigger, we're consider...

No sweat for anything but the standard V6 which would still get the job done. I used to pull a lot more than that with a sedan back when they were full sized. I agree that the 2.7 Ecoboost would be a great choice. A travel trailer does catch a lot of wind but that engine would still be fine. Just get the max tow package for whatever engine you settle on and you will be fine. You will probably get a lot better mileage from the new truck than your old one. My brother gets about 20% better mileage from his 2017 F150 with 2.7 than he did from his Ranger. If you are going to do a lot of trailer pulling you may want to go for the 36g tank.
