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...

Sorry! I forgot to include the payload. The payload on my truck's door jamb says 1,464. I'm figuring that two adults, my daughter, possibly a friend of hers, and two small dogs, that's 600 pounds of payload gone. Leaves me with 864. I don't really want to be at the maximum abilities on my truck either. I always wait to fill water tanks until I'm at or very close to my destination.
Another thing I'm considering is the length of trailer. Especially living in Oklahoma. Also to be considered is the storage unit place I use. A 36' indoor storage unit is $130 a month with electricity. Not a bad deal. A 50' unit is $365 a month! Don't ask me why the drastic price difference. Anyways, I am looking to stay under 36' total length, obviously. HA! One of the floor plans I really like is the Keystone Cougar 29BHSWE. We like having a king bed and there's two bunks in the back. It's 6,900 pounds dry according to their site. 1,900 pounds of cargo capacity though. I know from previous experience, that things start to accumulate in a travel trailer. HA!

So a 13,200lb tow rating will give you a tongue weight of 1400lbs with a TT! So with your 1464 payload that leaves you a little leeway. I hope you and your family are on a strict diet! LOL
