Matter of fact, there is a hot shotter on this forum that does so with a Ram 1500, all day, every day (Oh! but say it isn't so!, he even exceeds his ratings, the nerve of some people).troubledwaters wrote:

There is the towing within the ratings and then their is the duty cycle thing.
If you are just a weekend warrior going out occasionally, that F150 may get it done for a once a month trip or an occasional trip.
However if you are a full timer crisscrossing the country regularly an F-350 will be more capable vs. an F-150. Assuming both vehicles have similar towing parameters.
I had a 2002 F250, V10, I towed a lot, I wore out parts, I replaced parts; the same I expect to do with my F150.
