I have an F150 Ford. What Can anyone give me advice on what Travel Trailer to look into? Moving from a Class A to TT.
Generalities are always a danger, and with the max engine option power is usually not an issue. However, just from the ole dog and tail concept IMO all 1/2T based TV whether PU/SUV should be mated to something in the 22 to 27' range with a GVWR of less than 7K. The third more specific mating is the TW and payload consideration.
My reasoning for this is in general just the weight and robustness of the TV (i.e. tires/suspension/brakes, etc.)
Now many will probably disagree, but the above are my "GENERALIZED" thoughts.

I'd agree with this answer!
As to specific trailers, I suggest you take a look at the Winnebago Minnie line of trailers. IMHO, they are a little bit above average and have some good floor plans. My 2201DS weighs less than 6500 lbs. fully loaded with gear, food and some water. We picked this model because of the great storage space and an outside kitchen. We don't have a problem taking multi week trips and it tows very easily behind our Tundra.
Good luck in your search! Take plenty of time and look very carefully at as many trailers as you possibly can. By doing so, you can develop a sharper eye for details and construction techniques that can make a difference.
