Weight of travel trailer
What is the ideal weight of a travel trailer you can pull with a F-150 4x4 Ford with towing package??
Forum Discussion
I pull my 20' Nash 19B trailer with my F150 (see signature) and I have no problem pulling it, except going up inclines greater than 6%. On those occasions, max speed is 25 mph and I monitor the tranny temp.
The GVWR for my Nash is 7000 lbs with a carrying weight of about half that, and a hitch weight of around 350 lbs.
The GVWR for Transcend Grand Design 30' is almost 10,000 lbs with a carrying weight of 7820 lbs, and a hitch weight of 780 lbs (2x my Nash).

My F150 has a maximum towing capacity of 9300 lbs, with a payload of 1670 (or about 1300 lbs after trailer is hitched).
Assuming your daughter's F150 has a payload of 1670, then once she hitches the trailer, her payload will be less than 1000 lbs. Add a few riders in the cab, camping gear in the truck bed and full tank of gas--and poof, your at the maximum.
