Hi folks - I'd be interested in your experienced thoughts/feedback on towing a 31' 9" travel trailer with my 2021 Lariat. I'm mostly interested in thoughts on the length (31'9") but also the weight 6880 dry/8225 gross.
I'm experienced in towing a 28' air stream with a propride AS hitch on a 2018 F-150 previously, and I felt like anything longer behind an F150 with the short wheel base, might be a bit too much - from a sway/torque perspective.
My current 2021 Lariat short-bed has max tow @ 14k lbs, 1541 payload.
New *potential* trailer is 31' 9" length, 830 tongue weight, 6,880 dry weight/8,225 gross weight.
The 28' air stream I towed with my 2018 F-150 was @ 5600 dry weight (7500 GVWR), 899 tongue weight and 27'11" and I felt like that was fine.
Again - prefer feedback from folks who may have towed in this length and weight range. Not looking for a religious discussion or opinion
Thanks.
