Towing
Has anyone towed a toy hauler with their F150? Rated at towing 13,500 lb but i'm worried about tongue weight. Toy hauler is bumper pull loaded weighs approx 10,500.

Regardless of the type of trailer you're pulling, you gotta do a little math and figure out your numbers. I did a thread somewhere around here on how to figure that out, but the long and short of it is:
1) get the factory defaults off the driver side door jamb. That's your limits with no one in the truck.
2) Load up the trailer as you would when traveling. Go get weighed at a truck stop. Make sure you weigh in with full fuel and you in the truck. Weigh with the trailer and without, making sure the only thing you take off is the trailer.
Do the math. If you need help, post your numbers and we'll help you walk through it.
