Another Towing Question
We just purchased a Puma 28BHSS, which has GVWR 9063 lb. Unloaded Weight 7513 lb. Our vehicle only towed 9100lbs so we traded and purchased a newer F150 with their newer towing capacities: 3.5L...

Unfortunately Puma trailers are known to be heavy trailers. Anyone mention a 28’ or longer Puma, thats 3/4 ton territory in my opinion. When the trailer weighs considerably more than the truck and will be over 30’ long physics take over, no matter what 1/2 ton you have.
Based on your handle, I'll assume you're new at this towing thing too...at least you qualified your post with it being your opinion. Thank you for that.
Yes a F250 would be MORE stable. Yes a 350 wouldn't even know theres tongue weight back there and a dually would manhandle the trailer like arm wrestling an 8 year old girl.
BUT a well equipped half ton will tow that length and weight of trailer wherever it will fit, safely if everything is in good working order.
OP, be prepared for many pages of responses saying it's too much trailer. Your time, rather than reading 5 more pages of posts, would be best spent learning how to hook it up, set it up and practice maneuvering the trailer and a few test drives with low traffic to get used to it.
