I'm new to the RV arena. I'm narrowing my options for purchase of a travel trailer to use 2 or 3 times per year to attend hobby shows. I have a 2015 F-150 supercrew cab/short bed with tow pkg, 3.5 ecoboost. I believe the truck is rated to tow 11,700lbs.
Not enough info on your F150 to determine if its suitable to pull that size TT which may weigh 10500 lbs when loaded.
Ford markets the F150 with over a dozen different GVWR's from 6xxx up to 8200 lbs....and rawr from 3xxx up to 4800 lbs.
What is the trucks GVWR and its FAWR ?? Both can be found on the vehicles certification sticker on drivers door opening.
Be patience with some of the replies. As with any public forum some folks have little knowledge what a 1/2 ton truck is capable of other than the one they bought wasn't up to the job and just assume all 1/2 ton trucks are the same as theirs was.
