Can someone give me an idea if this set will work? This is my first truck and I'm not very knowledgeable on the towing capacities.
Truck:
2015 F150 SuperCrew 4x4 short bed
3.5L ecoboost
3:31 rear
regular tow package (will have a WDH installed)
1468 max payload
Trailer:
Bullet 310BHS 35' 6" total length
Dry weight-5977
Max cargo-1623 (will try to keep this low)
Hitch weight-645
If more info is needed please let me know. Thank you in advance for your help.

the 1468 sucks....


a 2015 in my style drops to 3.55 gearing and tows 12200...or so....


but with the eco.....pull away...

How much payload will you have in the truck ? Wife ? Kids ? Dog ? Tools etc. Payload is usually the most restrictive number.

Here's my take. If you have a typical family , the trailer will weigh realistically 7000lbs. Hitch weight in the 850lbs range , leaving 550 lbs for your wife , kids , dog , tools etc.

Yes , your truck will pull it , but you will be over the trucks GVWR, putting extra stress on the frame , brakes etc.

Roughly: 750

that 1468 does hurt....in 2013 mine has 1680 with the max tow....2015---like I said drops to 3.55 and tows more...that 700lbs savings...should bump up to over 2000lbs....

It a big trailer the truck will pull it it won't be the fastest thing but a trailer that size will catch some wind

I WANNA a like button....

Yes that long a trailer will be tossed around by side winds. You'll definitely need good sway control on your WDH.

And the stock tires on the F-150 suck bad for towing anything heavy.
