Has anyone seen the Accountant? Ben Affleck plays an accountant that has an F150 towing an Airstream loaded with guns and even a motorcycle. I think I heard him saying something about 35 feet and three axles (but I may be mistaken).Here you can see the inside at 0:45 and 1:07.Can the F150 handle that? :)Here's a snapshot from the movie:

It's the movies! It can handle anything the stunt man driving it can handle! And that doesn't include post-production effects! I LOVE Hollywood!!!

Actually, looking at the specs on line, it looks like that trailer (base empty weight 6250) is well within the tow ratings of an F-150. In fact it could be towed by my 2013 Armada. The trailer actually weighs less than my Open Range 216.Now, filling it with guns and motorcycles would certainly cause the weight to increase but it would still probably be towable by a 150.

Lucy and the Long Long Trailer.........course some scenes had to have trailer tow wheel edited outNow it's just CGI.......digitized editing

f150 with the ecoboost can tow the same as a one ton dually from the other guys, just make sure to order with the standard cab, max payload and max towing options :)

A triaxle trailer actually has less hitch weight than most tandem axle trailers the same size. Very straight line tracking and less tail waggin' the dog issues than a tandem axle trailer....and one big plus is 3 axle braking.

If the movies can make a car fly, surely an Air Stream's capabilities are limitless.

Can and should are two different things.
Yes, my F150 can tow that trailer.
BUT, it would not be a comfortable drive, and I do not have the skill set a professional stunt driver has.
