To directly answer your questions:
1) Yes
2) Yes
3) We have a 2018 Ford F-150 3.5L Ecoboost truck SPECIAL ORDERED (i.e. NOT off a dealer's lot) with max towing and heavy-duty payload packages. Payload capacity of just over 2500 lbs.
We are towing a Winnebago Minnie Plus 27RLTS 5th wheel trailer, just under 30 ft. long. Hitch is a B&W Companion.
We researched and shopped long and hard for this truck/trailer combination and have been very satisfied with travel performance thus far with 4200 miles on it so far. No trailer wagging the truck as others have mentioned.
Bottom line is: no matter what the nay-sayers may think, it can be done with the right combination.
