Got a couple at the property up north before towing the boat. Also, it's not hooked up, but a pick of the dump trailer I will be getting in a couple weeks. I'm just trying to decide between 12, 14, and 16 foot and whether I want drops axles. Either way it's gonna be 3600 lbs empty for the 12 ft and 4600 for the 16.

Here's a 14' dump behind my F150. Only time I hook a dump trailer to the F150 is for loads of 2 tons or less.

Towing a 8.5'x30' trailer stuffed with quads, gear , etc to the off road park sat. Total weight was about 7,500lbs. Truck handled great and the Eco was awesome!!!!! Averaged 10mpg for the trip which is not to bad.

Don't know what you'll be hauling with the dump trailer but choose wisely. A 12' at 10k GVW can be manageable behind a properly equipped F150. But a 12' is too small if you want to put equipment in it. A 16' is way easy to overload and a heck of a hitch weight when that happens. A 14' at 14000 GVW is a nice trailer and better balanced overall. Have never seen a WDH for a dump trailer. Not sure how to set one up when your 14k one minute and 4.4 K the next.
