5700 dry will probsbly tranalate to around 9000 pounds loaded ready to go. While you could get by with a 150/1500 for nearly the same money you could step up to a 2500 and tow worry free. Ford is really proud of their 150 ecoboosts. And unless you got the max tow package I dont think you would be real happy.
