Danasdaddy, You're welcome. I suggest you recheck your towing numbers as there is no way your straight 6 is rated to tow 11.300#, it's probably about half of that number. The only F-150 with that number is the EccoBoost with the heavy duty payload and towing packages. Keep in mind that a tow rating of "X' number of pounds does NOT refer to towing a TT. That is the max weight of the most efficient trailer out there like a flatbed or very streamlined boat.
I wish you well but IMHO you do not have anywhere near enough truck for that trailer (as evidenced by your mileage running empty). Load it up and head to the CAT scale before trying any mountains. Good luck! :C
