I have a 2016 F150 3.5L eco boost with a 3.15 gear ratio. Can anyone tell what weight and size travel trailer I can tow comfortably. I am looking at one that is 7770lbs. and 34 feet long?
In my opinion, you are WAY, WAY under trucked for that trailer. Is that 7770lbs the dry weight? If so throw that number away. Don't even think of it. Go by the GVW of the trailer and use a minimum of 12% for tongue weight. Then subtract that +100lbs for the hitch, the weight of your spare tire, tank of gas, anything else you throw in the box, THEN the weight of the people you will have in the truck from the cargo capacity of the truck.
