Downsizing
Howdy everyone! I'm from the Houston, Texas area. I recently purchased a 2013 F150 4x4 5.0 Supercrew. After driving an F250 Super Duty 7.3 diesel crew cab for about 12 years, I decided to downsize. I traded in my '05 Cardinal fiver back in March '12 and got a 28' Coleman travel trailer. It is a lightweight and was built to handled by a 1/2 ton. I finally got tired of the high price of diesel and decided to convert back to a gasser. I had a '91 F150 Supercab prior to the Super Duty. As you can see, I keep a truck that serves me well for a good while. 
I am enjoying the new truck and have no regrets thus far. The real test will be when I hook up to the travel trailer for a trip this spring. I hope I made the right decision and will be selling my old truck in the near future.

Grandpa's big Blue Truck
Welcome to the forum congrats on the new truck . Your truck should pull the tt ok with a WDHitch, we have a max tow package on ours and pulls our 8500 lbs . 34' tt very well , the eb we have pulls at a lower rpm then your 5.0 but they still do a good job happy camping
