I have no idea what this is but it pulled just fine, other than guzzling fuel
Also with a trailer you're using the truck as it was intended - all of the extra weight is over the drive wheels. If all you do is tow, you almost don't need 4WD unless you're visiting some extremely muddy campsites. All 4WD really does on a pure tow vehicle is reduce the available payload for towing.

2012 F150 Kingranch Ecoboost 4x4 towing 5th wheel
My 2012 Ecoboost 4X4 F150 tows this 9K 5th wheel with ease. GVWR for truck on the line and not over max. Added helper spring on rear axel, pulls level and smooth. Slightly over weight on rear axel only. GCWR well below max.

Officially, it is a 29' with a dry weight just a hair under 6,000#.
From hitch to bumper is about 33'.
I haven't put this trailer on a scale, but past experience tells me I am about 7,000 - 7,200#.
It is a 2011 model. Has a slide on each side, so the LR/DR is about 14' wide when set up.

Do you have a slider hitch in that 5.5 foot box? I see the camper front has the cut out for your back window. Wondering if you even need to put a slider in.
