I'm looking at travel trailers, just a small one for the lady, dog and I.
I have no tow package and 3.31 gears, I'm getting a class IV or V hitch, aftermarket trans cooler and break controller. Also will have a 5* tow tune by then and 33" tires.
So my question, I should be fine with any trailer 6k and under ya?
Any input is greatly appreciated, especially if you have similar set up and tow

Edit: I'll only be towing this once a year maybe twice

well if it was on me, I would be looking at gears. now I might be wrong but that seems to be the weak link hear. but for only one or to short trips a year you should be ok. I would think with 3;31 you might not get great mileage or a lot of Getty up out of her? but I am guessing.

Ya, definitely don't want to do the gears for trailer 5k or under and the very little amount of time I'm going to be actually pulling it. This truck/trailer combo just gotta get me through next 4 years or so then it's on to an f250 turbo diesel with HD tow package and a big ***** 5th wheel.. or maybe a brand new F150 ecoboost with HD tow package and a decent sized 5th wheel.. We'll see

Get a weight distribution hitch as well

I have a 13 eco with 3.31 gears, and pull a TT that's 5050 lbs dry. Tows great, even in the mountains of NC & VA. Of course I have a WDH & sway bar.

Nice!!
I noticed you have the regular mirrors, Just curious did yours come with the tow package? (upgraded radiator, trans cooler, break Controller )

I noticed that you have extensions on your mirrors. I know that they are aftermarket but look like they are part of the stock mirrors. What brand and model are they?

You'll be fine. But why spend the cash to take it out a couple times a year? Why not just rent one?

I remember when I had my ole Titan with the 3:31's. Had to really get on her to pull my 8k + 33' Keystone TT up a 6% grade! Don't miss that at all. The Boost will pull that 5k trailer quite easily, no question. Enjoy the ride.

3.31 gears no,issue with the Eco and under 8k lbs. plus with a tune, no problem at all...
