Tow vehicle is a 09 F150 supercrew 4x4 with 3.55 gears and 5.4L. Per Ford I can tow 9700 lbs. Max GCWR is 15,500. Truck does have the towing package on it. Total Weight 5800
Per the door sticker 7200 GVW
I will also add there is no chance in upgrading the truck for at least 5 years. I'm also not looking to buy a shorter trailer now and upgrade when I get a bigger truck. I want to buy a trailer now and have it paid off when the new truck comes.
I have a feeling we will end up in either the Bullet or the Artic Fox 22G. Problem with Artic Fox is the closet dealer is 6+ hrs away but that's a different concern.
I think you are on the right track with those 2. I'm thinking about the Bullet Premier 19 myself for when the grandkids don't travel with us anymore, mainly for the easier length to get around in tight places. Seems like it would be a nice floorplan for 2 people.
