Excuse my ignorance but doesn't an F-150 come with at least 2k in payload which can be increased with a heavy duty payload package. Wouldn't that eleviate any concern with payload?
I am not sure the "average" F150 has more than about 15-1700lbs payload WITHOUT the HD Payload package. But finding a truck with the HD package is very rare without ordering..... And last I read the HD package is on hold for ordering.
Keep this in mind though: If you have a truck that weighs ~5k lbs (not sure what the new all Aluminum F150 weighs) towing a 6k lb trailer vs a 6500lb truck towing the same trailer, the heavier truck will be more stable towing. Example truck weights without any passengers or cargo, just throwing an example trailer weight out. Not saying the lighter truck can't do it, but if the trailer starts trying to move the truck around (tail wagging the dog), the heavier truck can be the difference.
