Can my F150 tow this? Thanks

2 more things. The wheelbase is a NON ISSUE. I can't believe that is being brought up on a chassis rated up to 11000#. Add in stability control, trailer sway control, ABS, EBD, big brakes, and all the other advantages of a modern truck like yours..... Wheelbase divided by the hitch to axle distance is far more telling than overall wheelbase anyhow. Shorter shank on the WDH helps this, I had a machine shop shorten and redrill mine.

Let that 5.0 rev. It is designed as a 7000rpm capable motor, and you will not hurt it in it's detuned state in the F150.

Some old school advice here, some good, some bad.
As for the transmission advice about shifting, keeping it out of OD - Wrongo! The 6 speed in the F150 is designed to tow in all gears, all you have to do is hit the tow / haul button and let it decide. It wil not hunt for gears like older / other transmissions, it will progressively "lock out" the taller gears after a couple failed upshifts.
On hills, the truck will fairly aggressively downshift and use engine braking to keep the speed in check. It will quiet often downshift to a gear that will keep you at the same speed going downhill, even after you take your foot off the brake.
Lastly, if you don't already have, get the OEM brake controller, it's way better than even the best aftermarket controller, and it integrates with the truck to manage any sway.
Enjoy your truck, it is up to the task, and a wel match combo IMO.

Thanks for all the advice. I really appreciate it guys.

I took my trailer on a 100km ( 55 miles or so ) test run with no problems.

From everything you have posted the combo seems reasonable

What is a safe ratio of trailer length to TV wheelbase? Since you made an issue of this I'm assuming there is some guideline somewhere.

Just a matter of opinion, I believe. There is no 'official' rule.

There are a few rules of thumb out there but I can't remember them off the top of my head. I did however calculate it for my 145" wb and my 28' trailer just for kicks a month or two ago and was within the rule. But more importantly I haven't had any sway issues with my setup. I would say you will be fine.

I have the same truck but in the supercrew (157" WB) which reduces my towing to a max of 7500 lbs. We have been on one trip (1300 Miles) to TN and back with no issues. The truck pulls it fine but you know you are pulling something. It pulled the hills without any trouble, as long as you don't expect to climb them at 65 or 70 Mph. My trailer loaded is around 6700 lbs with a tounge weight around 800 lbs.

I would imagine it would be a more pleasent experience if I had a 250 but for now it works just fine.

Make sure you go and weigh your setup. Weigh the truck alone. Truck with trailer (no wdh). Truck with trailer and WDH hooked up. This is really the best way to know that you are getting the most out of your WDH.

You'll be fine. Make sure you get a WDH set up correctly and go have fun.

Sounds like a fine combination to me. If your hitch is properly set up and everything is in order, you should be fine. Don't worry about the wheelbase.

Good luck!
