Newbie looking for towing advice
So i'm a newbie to this forum and newer f150's. Im looking at buying a 2012 f150 platinum with the 3.5 Ecoboost. Said pickup has the trailer tow with the 3.55 rear end a gcwr of 15,550 and not the max tow package. I have a 27ft v-nose enclosed trailer with a gvwr of 9900lbs. I haul 2-4 snowmoblies (550lbs/sled) maybe 4 times a year, and thats it for towing. Im not concerned on gas mileage or anything of that nature when towing as I don't do it enough to justify a 250. My question is this pickup capable of pulling this trailer without destroying it?
Sorry but I dont know the empty weight of my trailer, and 4 sleds is not near the max weight the trailer can hold. But I am going to take it over some scales soon for my own knowledge.
