Default Towing 24ft enclosed trailer

I have a 2007 F150 FX 4x4 Crewcab truck and I am thinking of getting a 24ft car enclosed trailer with 5200lbs axles and electric brakes. I am wondering if my truck will handle the trailer. The truck has the big V8 and I am thinking of putting a WDB on the truck. I am also wondering if the rear spring will be heavy enough.
Thanks for your help,
Redo

Default towing your trailer

i tow a 20 ft enclosed trailer with 7500 lb axles with my 05 f150 1/2 ton w/ tow package loaded with 7100 lbs of music gear very easliy, i added an edge tuner to make it easier on my 5.4 and tranny got me 11 mpg on a 4 hour 200 mile trip up and down mountains in wv . a wieght distribution hitch is a must tho.
