Hey you anti-weight-police types... I see most if not all of you are driving 2500 or 3500 class trucks... Put your money where your mouth is and get yourself a half ton.
I did. I had a 2011 F150 HD Ecoboost and it did a great job pulling my 10k lbs RV for three years. I towed back and forth to the coast, and up and over the Rockies(from Texas) twice with it. It had more than plenty of power to keep me at the posted speed and I had no issues braking while going down hill with the manual gear selection. I would still have that truck if I still had my 10k RV. However, I went up to a 13k RV, and as I said before, anything over 10k then I would just get a 3/4 ton diesel which is what I drive now.
I can't speak for the other makes, but I have plenty experience towing with modern F150 to know that it can safely tow 10k with no issues and plenty of power even in high altitudes.
