I bought a 2016 eco boost in 2015, and the same day I picked it up i bought a 27 foot 5th wheel. I was in Vancouver and the following day I towed it up into the mountains on a 5 hour highway drive. I had ZERO problems towing as far as power went, it felt solid as a rock and honestly was everything I had hoped it would be. I was able to climb even the steepest parts of the coquihala and had more power to spare. I do think its important to realize you have A LOT of weight on you and its more the braking coming down the mountain than it is the power going up.

Great setup and done right by someone who understands what on the Tow Vehicle DNA has on the effect of how it handles; long wheel base, air bags for stability, and keeping payload as light as possible. Arctic wolf has a new model 271RK with lighter payload this year and yes, it will be towable by many half ton trucks. Amazing how most people don’t get the physics of how a longer wheel base make a huge difference in how trailers tow. They only look at tow capacity.....

Personally, I'd option a different spring pack rated heavier than the one you have, then reduce air bag pressure to level it out. It's a nice setup, but you ideally don't want a ton of force at that one point in the frame. By going with a heavier spring pack, you reduce the load on the air bags and have a more even distribution. The new f150 has a "Heavy Duty Payload Package" which has 3.73 gears, the 9.75" gearset, and upgraded springs. Assuming you're running a properly equipped f150 (proper gear ratios and such) the only thing you would be missing is the upgraded springs. In this configuration, the payload for a 5.0 v8 with 4x4 is 2,640 lbs and a tow rating of 13,000 lbs. Obviously a few small things changed between the 2017 and 2021 model years, but the point stands. You would be well under your rated capacity for both towing weight, and payload weight. An improperly equipped f250 diesel (for payload purposes) would have a payload capacity of 3,040 lbs which is only a difference of 400 lbs in this scenario. My point is, having a properly set up truck is important. Properly equipped, you're well below your payload and tow ratings.

I bought a 2018 keystone Cougar half ton series this summer and I also put the B&W turn ball just like yours and the Andersen ultimate hitch. The only difference is I didn’t put the air bags. I went with the timbrens and they do the exact same job I just don’t have to worry about air leaks. I bought the Rv in Kentucky and I towed it to Texas. 3 days on the road and I was doing 70 mph most of the way. It was under 1500 rpm and it also did around 11 mpg. These trucks are amazing.

I had the same truck with the 3.5. I had a slider hitch(never had to move it) and my family was 800lbs(5 people). My truck had an 1850lb payload and when we were all in we were over by 250lbs on the rear axle(4050lbs). Jayco 265bhs loaded weight of 8500lbs. That truck was more than adequate for local stuff like you said for yours. But not a rig to run far with. Now I'm in a crew cab 8' box 2019 f350 lariat srw. And the trailer weighs less than the truck. I test drove the 5.0 vs 3.5 and because I was also driving a 7.3 I couldn't deal with the winding up of the 5.0 with nothing in the bed. I test drove a 6.2 in the Super Duty and no amount of money save would even make me take a gas anything over a diesel. My old 7.3 with 300k on the ODO pulls better on the highway than the 6.2 wit a 12k trailer in tow. Now the 6.7 has no comparison. I don't tow fast and never will(65mph max) I own a highway truck and it limited to 63mph and pulls 140k all day long so I'm quiet happy watching fools pour the fuel out the tailpipe to save an hour. Have a good one nice set up too enjoy.

There’s a dramatic difference between the 1/2 tons of the past 10 years and those from 20 years ago. The half tons of today often pull more than they old 3/4 tons. I think that probably plays a role in the 1 ton battles on here. This is a good setup for towing around a local area. With the adds he has I’m guessing it pulls pretty well at 60-65. Wouldn’t want to run interstate speeds but most people don’t regardless what they’re towing with.

Safety chains are not required on a "king pin" connection, but they are with a "gooseneck" or any "ball mount" Connection. Again, not trying to start a fight, those are just the rules where I am.

Good choice using that Andersen hitch to help stay within your limits. Although unless you have actually put your rig on the CAT scales to know for sure I really question if you have taken in account of the weight of all the accessories on your truck, like the weights of the turn overall ball mount, tool box, air compressor, air bag system, and running boards. This stuff adds up quickly and I have a feeling you are closer to the GVWR of your F150 than you think you are. If you are any where close to any of your weight ratings of your vehicle you really should put it on the CAT scales to know for sure. Yeah this truck can put it but if an accident happens you could have legal trouble on your hands and that's something I'm not willing to risk.

I have been using my 2015 F150 with the 2.7 Eco or Boost to tow a 1995 Terry 24P for a few years now. The Terry is only about 5,700 lbs. dry and fully loaded is still under 7,000 Lbs. and when loaded carefully the hitch weight is never an issue. The truck has always handled it well and safely. The engine has never lacked for power even when climbing steep grades at altitude at normal temperatures but once this Summer in mid July in Utah, Nevada, and Arizona while temperatures were hovering on either side of 100 degrees Fahrenheit the computer would go into the limp in mode to protect the hot engine and transmission. Being from Iowa I have seldom been much over 1200 to 1300 feet and seldom over an 8% grade for more than a few hundred feet. We were able to manage by giving the truck a few cooling off stops on the steep hot grades. The problem is not so much power but rather cooling capacity when producing full power for extended periods at high ambient temperatures. Keep in mind that you can lose 20% of your towing capacity or more when you are towing over 10,000 feet.

Former automotive AND recreational vehicle salesman here. You have a nice setup going on. The airbags and all that is pretty cool. But, you're likely to get someone killed if you tried to do any real excursions with that rig. It may be fine for local 45mph and under trips but that rig should NEVER see highway speeds. It's just not suited for it. Yes, it will pull it. My 2017 Silverado 1/2 ton will pull far more than it is rated for. The main objective in towing anything is being able to safely and effectively stop it. You will not achieve ideal braking distances and times with that rig. You would be endangering all the lives around you by taking that rig out on the open road. And, now, if you were to have a tragic accident you would be royally screwed because you have video evidence that you acknowledge this setup is not entirely safe for distance travel. In short, yeah you can do it but you're really playing with fire and we all know how well that usually plays out for folks.

He then says that leaves 100 lbs of wiggle in the truck with him and his wife. That wheelbase with the 5.0 can carry 2290lbs of payload, and pull up to 9500lbs with the 3.73.

He's actually probably right with his numbers and actually legal. Just because you could doesn't mean you should. Now he seems to know what he has and knows not to push it long haul in the mountains, so he'll probably get away with it. My issue is that while it seems he's right, others will watch this video without the knowledge he has and try and do the same, possibly with disastrous results. I pull a 19 ft 4700 lb loaded TT behind my ecoboost 150 up high in the mountains, steep grades and high winds. I wouldn't go much more than 6500 with a TT on my setup. Legally I'm good for 10,000. Option for the truck to go up to 13,000lbs. Looking forward to ditching both my truck and trailer for larger units, will probably do both at the same time and buy stuff actually rated to do it nicely without going over 70% of the max rating on the truck to keep it nice and comfortable while towing.

You know tongue weight counts towards GVWR. Fifth wheel is typically 20% of the trailer weight.

That would put you at approximately 2800 pounds. That's about 1k over loaded.

No the numbers aren’t all in the payload...... stop giving out false info. Do your own research sir. It’s all in the GCWR. Subtract your trucks weight “with peoples and articles” and that’ll give you your trucks max towing capabilities. Payload capacity is only for hitch weight; which is irrelevant if you are outside the GCWR “don’t mistake it with GVWR. GVWR is only for the vehicles weight with payload, excluding trailers.” GCWR is total truck and trailer weight. The towing capacity that ford, dodge, and Chevy advertise is actually the GCWR rating, not what the truck can actually tow. You need to subtract your trucks loaded weight from that to get that tow rating. With a 140.5 you might want to check your cab to trailer clearance when turning. You way need to invest in a slider hitch “if your within your GCWR.” The 5.7L should be okay. It’s not the engine that matters, but the gear ratio and transmission you have. The EcoBoost is a more than capable motor. But it doesn’t mean anything with a 3.55 rear end. Do your own research.

The GCWR of that truck is only 14,500 pounds. Payload capacity, GVWR, towing capacity, etc doesn’t mean anything. Those trucks weigh in at 4,915lbs. The math works to be that you can only SAFELY tow 9,585. You are way outside of the trucks means. Also by height and windage you are as well. Just because your only going an hour or so away, doesn’t mean that you can be unsafe in your practices. All these people can say “oh 1ton diesel haters.” But the fact of the matter is a truck like this is not designed to tow such weight. Those “towing capacity” numbers that are advertised are GCWR numbers, not the max weight of the trailer. You have to subtract the total weight of the truck from the GCWR weight, and that will give you the allowable weight. You may not have broke anything yet, but something will fail. If not before a semi buffers your rig into an uncontrollable situation. Again you guys up here can try and hate and say “over priced 1ton diesel haters” but you can’t argue numbers. You can argue with someone that deals with these numbers everyday as their career. Also to add; a safe allowable buffer of 1,000 to 2,000+ of dry weight is preferred, but not technically necessary. You only get that from the 2500-F250 and up. Even with your numbers of “bed payload capacity” which doesn’t mean anything other than your hitch weight, which is still irrelevant to your actually safe tow capacity, your ignorantly riding on the edge of risking others lives while on the road. Shame on you.

I agree with the comments in regards to cost. I purchased a fully loaded 2018 Lariat with Ultimate package, long bed for $74k

Does the F150s have full floating rear axles? I dunno how safe you are but one thing for sure is you will prematurely tear up components doing this.

No. Semi floating. Which is the reason I would be freaking out with this setup if you broke an axle bearing.
