I wouldn't want to tow that with my 2013 F150....
But, in the end, it's all up to what numbers you want to go by..
I'm towing a #7000 GVWR TT with my F150 that's rated to tow #11,000... I have the actual "MaxTow" option as shown below.
The 3v 5.4. V8 is a dog of an engine IMO... I would not own one if you gave it to me... :)
I bleed Ford Blue, but that engine just plain sucks and if you have to go up any 'hills', you will be hating life... 4 speed tranny and probably only a 3.55 rear gear and you'll be in second gear and foot to the floor on a 5% grade..
Numbers are fine, but I've been towing for some time now with these F150s and you just gotta know what you got and go from there...
Good luck! Mitch
