The best way to answer this question is to talk to people who actually drive them.. We just bought a 2015 F150 with Max tow package and a Blackstone 280 RKSB . I have been run up and down the coals on this forum and constantly have to keep my threads from getting hijacked into a weight issue or tail wagging the dog. The trailer is 7800 lbs dry and I figure we will be just under 10,000 loaded. So before we bought we talked to every blackstone owner we saw on the road , in the park, at the dealer. Most of these guys are working up in the oil patch so tow them all across B.C. and Alberta. A perfect test for setup and trailer. Bad roads, bad conditions, bad weather. Most of the rigs were set up with F-150 3.5 ecoboost.turbos and maybe 25 percent were 1 ton diesels. All had either Equalizer or Sway Pro hitches. All said they towed like a dream and noone had sway issues with the trailers. All had lots of power to tow the 10,000. So considering this was REAL input we bought accordingly. Truck is rated for around 11,900 lbs towing and 2100 lbs payload.
