Re: Towing questions

I would look for heavier axles. Any place I ever worked would have that trailer overloaded by the second trip out. You just know somebody will say that you forgot a piece of gear, some new toy, or hey since you are out can you drop this off somewhere. Just saying.

No real experience with the f150 but I would be looking at a 3/4 ton if this trailer is moved more than a couple times a year. Bigger brakes and heavier drivetrain is a bonus when you have company drivers. Like I said, no experience with the fords but their numbers seem awfully inflated. I would think pulling that load on a regular basis would pound it into the ground quickly. I feel those numbers are more in line with a weekend warrior who occasionally hauls a small RV or boat a few weekends a year. A better question is what motor and gears are in that f150 if you are inclined to try it.
