New F-150 with 13,200 lb tow rating!
I just purchased a brand new 2018 F-150 Lariat with the 3.5L Ecoboost motor a couple nights ago. It has the max tow package and the 3.55 gears giving it a tow rating of 13,200 pounds! I used to have...

First,
Congratulations on the new truck. You bought a brand new truck and you should be happy. Last week I made the same purchase, and I am very happy, but I haven't put a new post on here because of doom and gloom.
I am leaving diesel trucks for a while. I was driving an F350 dually, and just bought a max tow F150 SCREW. I researched the living heck out of this purchase and I am very happy with it so far. I currently have 400 miles on it, so I won't hook it up to a trailer until the rear gear set is broken in.
As for your original question, we have RV for about 20 years always with the HD trucks. We had decided late in the season, that we want to downsize. When we RV we try to make it like camping as much as possible. The only time we go inside is sleep in the A/C. The rest of the day we are outside enjoying nature. We decided we wanted to hit some National Forest and their small camping sites would be better for a smaller trailer.
So far I am interested in the Grand Design Imagine 2400BH or the Forest River twins Micro/Mini 25BRDS/2509S.
Both of these trailers fit our needs and show tow well behind our new truck.
FWIW I do tow with a Hensley Arrow, I picked it up used on craigslist for a song, and towed my current toy hauler with my dually using that hitch. I like to be cautious and stress-free when towing.
Good luck and let us know what you decide to buy for a trailer.
