I towed with an F-150 for several years and had no
trouble other than that the engines were underpowered (should NOT be a problem
for most folks--I had a base V6 on one, a '98 model, and an EFI 302 in
the older one). The old truck was slightly more competent than the '98 but
needed add-a-leaf springs for even the small 2-horse bumper pull trailer I
pulled back then.
The newer trucks should do just fine with similarly
sized trailers, even *small* goosenecks that are within the payload
rating.
I've read a couple mentions against the F-150, which is the
vehicle I tow with. Are you saying it's not even ok with just a
2-horse bumper pull? My trailer is about 3000 lbs empty, and I have yet
to put two horses in it. I'd love to have bigger truck, and I'm sure it
would provide a lot more security, but there's just no way I could afford to
keep two vehicles for towing and commuting separate... I do drive
incredibly cautiously though when I'm towing, so hopefully luck will continue
following me :-/
