Short trailers are not easy to back up
Not to mention virtually invisible back there. You typically won't see a small trailer in your mirror until it's already turning.
Don't forget - you'll need a hitch extension. I would highly recommend the TorkLift Superhitch. It's DOT approved for any length extension you'll need.
The 7x14 trailer I have shows in my mirrors outside the dually fenders. I can see the sides at all times.
The F350 has a mighty robust hitch with a 2 1/2 receiver - sorry I don't know the specs as to what class it is but it seems very strong. I just added an extension to it and it seems fine. I may try chain and turnbuckle stabilizers to help prevent wear.
