My 2011 lists this also,4 door 4x4 with 5.0 and 355 gears, pulls my 5000lbs dry weight trl great ,

That is exactly like mine. We only pull a 19' airstream and it does fine. Sometimes at 10,000 feet I can feel it loosing a little steam. It is the 145" screw, with a 1633 yellow sticker payload. I think the airstream probably only weighs 3500 wet. There is nothing I would change about this truck. It is an xlt with leather and xid headlights which as far as I know the only year they did this. I enjoy reading smokeywrens comments, I wish Ford dealers all had one of him!

Hey Smokeywren, okfordgal here. I'm a newbie to the forum but me and the hubby have driven Ford's all of our lives (which is a long time).
I want to ask a question I think I already know the answer to but I'm going for it anyway.
My current truck is a 2015 F150 Supercrew 4x4 w/5.0. I'm wanting to upgrade to a horsetrailer with living quarters although very small LQ. I'm looking at a 3 horse slant only because 2 horse are harder to find. I will never haul 3 and my horses are each under 1000#. The seller says the empty trailer weight is 6130. This is a gooseneck. Do you think there's anyway possible my truck would pull that without ruining transmission or pushing me thru a stop sign, etc? I appreciate your feedback!
It's a Lariat so it has towing package.

6139 plus 2000 for horses plus another 500 for tack and minimum feed is 8,639 pounds of gross trailer weight. Call it 9,000 when you load it good.


9,000 Gooseneck trailer with 20% hitch weight will have 1,800 pounds of hitch weight.


Assuming you have 3.55 axle ratio, the Ford "Tow rating" for your 5.0L drive train is very close to 9,000 pounds. So if you minimize the weight in the truck and trailer, you can probably get by without exceeding he GCWR of your tow vehicle (TV). That means your truck can pull the trailer over hill and dale without overheating anything in the drivetrain, and without being the slowpoke holding up traffic on hills at less than about 4,000 feet altitude. You'll be loaded to the gills, so don't try to haul a back seat full of NFL linebackers.


No problem with burning up the tranny if you drive by the gauges and never allow the tranny temp gauge to jump over into the yellow zone on the gauge on the dash, or over 225° on the digital gauge in the display of your Lariat.


Brakes are no worry. Be certain the trailer bakes work as designed, and tow with the tranny in tow/haul mode. The trailer brakes are designed to handle the trailer, so the TV brakes only have to stop the TV.


So no problem with "pulling" the LQ if you don't try to cross the Rockies with it.


But you'll probably be overloaded over the payload capacity of your TV. Adding Firestone RideRite air bags to the rear suspension will raise the back end up enough that your headlights won't blind oncoming drivers at night. Air bags mask the symptoms of being overloaded, but they don't increase your GVWR.


To see how much overloaded you'll be before you spend the money for the LQ, load the TV with everyone and everything that will be in it when towing. Tools, pets, campfire wood, gooseneck hitch, everything. Drive to a truck stop that has a certified automated truck (CAT) scale, fill up with gas, and weigh the wet and loaded TV. Yes, include the driver in the weight. Subtract the weight of the wet and loaded TV from the GVWR of the TV, and the answer is the max hitch weight you can have without overloading the suspension of your TV.

Thank you so much! All those years of hauling paid off so you can "pay it forward" to others! You have simplified what has been an exasperating situation. Most of the people I've talked to start spitting out numbers and acronyms I'm not familiar with. I can do ratios and formulas, etc, if I know where to get the numbers to start with. I appreciate this so much. I'm going to print and show to Honey.
