Some food for thought..
We have a 13' F-150 Ecoboost XLT, 4x4, Screw, Max tow, HD 8200 GVWR, 2172 load capacity pulling a an 07' 294RLS Cougar TT GVWR 9455. Truck carring me, DW, 5# Yorkie, 2 gens, tool box, hitch & has a tonneau cover and bed liner + 36 gallons of gas scaled @ 6840 ready to tow.
Scaled traveling with trailer loaded
Travel Ready
FAW 3260
RAW + Trailer 11560
Truck Weight 7900
Trailer axle Weight 7060
Truck & Trailer 14960
We're on a 4500 mile trip as we speak and are averaging 9.6 - 10.2 after a little over 4000 miles. Have climbed some serious hills (frig-gen mountains) and it pulled em as good, if not better, than our old 6.0 did and have had no problems going down the back sides. We found several places where our trailer wouldn't fit so DW wants to upgrade to a shorter trailer. This is my story & I'm sticking to it. Good Luck
