Is this TT too much for my '15 F150?

Everybody gets to decide what they're comfortable with, and part of that is how far and what type of terrain they tow in. I would personally cap a half ton truck at around a 7000 lb trailer (wet). But I drive in a lot of Rockies and I have a wife, three kids and a dog so I load the truck up pretty good just with live cargo let alone our stuff.

I don't personally think OP has enough truck for the trailer he's eyeing, but I also think his truck can physically do it if he's comfortable with it. Especially in Texas where you can stand on a tuna can and see 30 miles.

Lol, Texas isn't as flat as a lot of people think. It is down here by the coast, but the rest is mostly rolling hills. Texas has a very diverse landscape. Out in the Hill Country, where we camp a lot, you'll find some surprisingly steep terrain. There's even a few little mountains out there in the hill country. Out west and you get into the more serious mountains like the Davis and Guadalupe ranges.

About the truck comment. I wasn't responding to the OP, just the blanket statement "A half ton truck should not pull a TT over 6000 lbs. pounds dry weight." There's a lot of trucks out there in a lot of configurations that are more than capable of towing over 6000 lbs dry.

While I don't do the Rockies, I do the Appalachian and Allegheny Mountains when we're out east. I also have a wife, a couple of kids, and all the junk that comes with them. The truck has no problem getting up or controlling its speed on the way down. Once again I'm not making a judgement on if the OP's truck is capable or not, just sharing my experience with a half ton towing over 6000 lbs dry.
