How Long Can I go?

Thanks to everyone in advance!

We are looking at travel trailers - but we live in the middle of a long cul-de-sac and are concerned about getting the trailer around the cul-de-sac.

We have a F-150 with a 157" wheelbase and a turning radius of 50.4 feet. The cul-de-sac diameter is 55 feet and there are mailboxes at the curb.

Can anyone help with the calculations to determine how long of a trailer we can buy?

Be more concerned with a trailer that is correct weight for your F-150.
Get truck weighed ready to go camping.....you, passengers, any stuff in truck or truck bed.
Use that actual weight number to figure what you can tow (available payload.....tow capacity). See ratings on data plate.

Mail boxes at curb......that is a concern regardless of length due to tail swing
