I would recommend staying as small as you can with any F150..
Apparently you are not aware of the HDPP package. Mine has a heavier frame, LT tires, rotors almost identical to a 2500, springs and shocks rated to handle the 2,560 payload it has. That’s more payload than some 2500’s
Yes I understand that the OP doesn’t have that package.
But by saying ANY, your brush stroke is much too large.
I’m not familiar with the HDPP package, sounds interesting and rare. I once owned a 97 F250 Light Duty that was basically a beefed up F150. They only made them in 97 and 98, kinda similar i’m thinking, had a 5.4 in it
Anyway, I think a lot of people look at tow capacity and such and think they can get it done, when in reality, their truck isn’t up to snuff controlling sway and such in an F150 or similar platform. I pull my TT 25’ and 6k with an F150 and wouldn’t want ANY more trailer for my comfort without a Super Duty.
I do drive an F450 at work daily and my previous 2 personal trucks were Super Duty Diesels, excellent tow rigs, as is the F150 when not overloaded.
