What can a Ford F-150 (3.5 EcoBoost, max tow) ('11-14) actually tow?
The rating is the easy half of the answer. A trailer never weighs its brochure dry weight (water is 8.34 lb a gallon, propane and batteries ride along, and so does your gear), and hundreds of models changed their published weights mid-run, so the model year decides as much as the model. Judged that way, with a 10% margin and 2 people aboard: 3446 of 5150 campers fit a Ford F-150 (3.5 EcoBoost, max tow), and 14 more fit if you buy the right years.
The number that quietly binds is payload, 3,100 lb (3.5L EcoBoost with max trailer tow and the heavy-duty payload package - Ford's published EcoBoost max (3,120 lb is the max for the F-150 line as a whole)): tongue weight lands on the rear axle with your passengers and the hitch, so a vehicle often runs out of payload well before it runs out of rating.
Loaded estimate: dry weight + full fresh tank + propane, battery and gear for 2. Headroom is against the rating less 10%.
These changed their published weights mid-run: some model years clear a Ford F-150 (3.5 EcoBoost, max tow), others don't. A listing site treats them as one trailer. They aren't.
