That's gonna be a lot of trailer for sure. I've got a 13 F150 EcoBoost with the "maxtow" option giving the truck a #7700 GVWR and #1900 payload.
I can tell you that I'm maxed out with a 26' #7000 GVWR trailer...
I do pack heavy, and it's only 2 of us, so my trailer does not need to be that big , but it's all up to what you feel comfortable with in the end.
Like has been said, you have towed with your truck before and know how it handles your last trailer. I think you'll be a bit surprised at it's actual weights on the new one when it's wet...
We all don't think we pack much.. But, how much do we all add over time?
Anyway, good luck with it and waiting 5 years to buy a new truck is gonna be a lot more $$ than just buying one now..
I'm not even looking at new trucks in my future.. I'll replace the engine, trans, whatever on my 13, as it'll be cheaper than even a used base model truck that's newer than what I got now and I don't plan on getting any larger in TT either.. But, that's just me and no growing family! :)
Good luck! Mitch
