Impact of Lighter, Alum. F150 on Towing
I have 28 foot travel trailer -- under 7000 lbs fully loaded -- and am thinking of getting a new tow vehicle to replace a 2004 Ram 1500 Hemi. The truck has been a good one for towing this size traile...

No need for a 3/4 ton for that weight. Yes, some extra mass doesn't hurt when towing, but the 2500/3500 trucks that weigh maybe 8000 pounds empty are rated to tow as much as 2-3 times their empty weight depending on configuration. Towing 7000 pounds with a correctly set up 4500 pound tow vehicle should not worry anyone.
