We have a 33' trailer that weighs 6,300 lbs. dry with a tongue weight of 750 lbs. We pull that with a 2013 F150 Supercrew that has the trailer tow package and the 6.2 litre V8 (sorry, I'm from Canada and I'd like to know the cubic inch equivalent as well)and according to Ford is rated to pull 11,500 lbs.

As a rule I like to have at least 25% more towing capacity than I need.
