Similar to the previous poster, we tow an 32' Open Range LT274RLS. Trucks sticker payload is 2090. My Sherline scale shows typically between 1050 and 1100 lbs. on the hitch. If I'm getting close to the 1150 hitch limit, I just move some things to the pickup bed. Very nice to have enough payload to have that option. We've only had the new TT since January, but have been to the Smokies - absolutely no problem. On highway, I actually seem more stable with the push/pull from trucks than I did with smaller trailer but that could be the equalizer over the E2 I had. Cross winds are noticeable. My wife has no problem driving and together we have knocked out the 600 miles to Disney in one day. Never drive over 60, but never did with the other trailer either. Would or could a 350 do better, possibly, but I ordered this truck knowing exactly what I wanted and that I may tow somewhat larger in the future(at the time only had a 24' TT). A properly equipped F150 is fully capable of comfortably towing up to 35' if it's got the payload and hitch, driver has much to do with success and keeping speed reasonable probably more.
