I plan on having my 2019 F150 3.5 EB tuned with the 93 performance/tow tune below. I am looking at two cargo trailers. One is a 6x12 with a GVWR of around 3000 and a dry weight of 1250. The other is a 7x12 tandem axle with a GVWR of 10000 and a dry weight of around 3000. I am leaning more towards the latter I could use the extra payload capacity. My question is how well this truck would pull a 3000 pound trailer on a consistent basis? What are some things I would need to look out when picking out a size in a trailer? I would really like a 5 x8 cargo trailer because they have higher payload capacities but none of them look nice in my opinion.

if you're doing alot of backing & turning... go with the single axle. But I would go for a 6x14 over a 12'. You will get worse mileage with the dual axle
If you do go with a dual axle... I would put the thing up on jackstands and verify that the axles are perpendicular to the coupler.
Also stock up on spare tires... 2 for the single axle and 4 for the dual.

3000 lb empty trailer behind a truck that has at least an 8000 lb tow rating. I have used a 6X12 U-Haul loaded to 5k lbs several times and barely noticed it was back there. 87 5 Star p/t tune, so your 93 tune should improve things slightly.

Log into ford.com and look up your trucks tow and payload and post it here, that will tell you most of what you need to know.

I did a lot of towing with my tuned 2020 3.5 SCREW, I actually pulled the tune off for much of the towing as as i thought it would be "safer", these trucks are pretty bulletproof even with rough treatment when bone stock.
