The Ford truck you have is a good unit---however think about these things;
The Ford will have 1/2 ton tires, wheels, brakes, and running gear. The tires alone will have pretty pronounced "squirm" from the weight. Do you have a good Tow/Haul mode that will respond enough to hold back the rig on a 6 or 7 percent grade for miles?
Then having to take two rigs---? How are you going to be able to hear "Are we there yet?" Or my favorite-"Daddy, I gotta p##." That's right after drinking a 78 oz. burpy drink.
Lastly, your truck will TOW it, but will it be safe and enjoyable. Take it from one that literally flew through the air during a travel trailer towed by a 3/4 ton diesel rollover. Size Matters!
