I too pull with a 1/2 ton truck, It pulls my 25' 5er just fine, I am sneaking up on my max payload. So FORD if your listening, if your going to market an F-150 to pull 13k, why isn't the payload 2k or better. Your killing us Smalls!!! Killing us!!!
Since many F150 buyers want all the fancy bling, like the Lariat or Platinum levels, you sacrifice payload.
Very few are interested in towing a 5th wheel. They're more interested in the luxuries as a daily driver. They don't know how important payload is.
If you want payload capacities of 2000lbs+, it's available with the HDPP. But you'll have to order it.
F150s with the HDPP aren't big sellers for Ford. That's why you don't find them on dealers' lots.
I couldn't find a used one so I settled for a XLT with the Max Tow package. My payload is 1830lbs, which is the best I could find.
