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.
