The one I pullled was a 6x12 and as long as your hitch height is good it pulls fine. I added timbren bags to keep the squat to a minimum. I too have 3:55 gears.

You should be fine with the stock setup. Take your trailer to the tire shop and have them balance all 5 tires. I had a 5x10 landscape trailer that shook the tow vehicle something crazy until I balanced the tires.
Remember if you go over the road for long distances you may want to keep the speeds down. That trailer loaded WILL steer your truck around on the highway. Had this done while towing with the F-350 diesel and it isn't funny. I had 2 cord of unseasoned firewood, probably close to 8K plus the 2700 trailer weight.

How big of a trailer can a Ford F

2021 Ford F-150 Towing Capacity 3.3L Ti-VCT V6: 8,200-pound max towing capacity. Turbocharged 2.7L EcoBoost® V6: 10,100-pound max towing capacity. 3.0L Power Stroke V6: 12,100-pound max towing capacity.

Can a 1500 truck pull a dump trailer?

If it really is a 2000 lb load and you have a brake controller in the truck with a socket that matches the trailer it will be fine. It would be very easy to exceed the capacity of a 1500 if you were putting a heavy material like gravel or soil in the trailer.

Can a Ford F

The 2021 Ford F-150 is all-new, and this redesigned beast is ready to bring unwavering power to your workday with best-in-class* 14,000 pounds of maximum towing capacity and 3,325 pounds of maximum payload capacity.

Can I tow a skid steer with a F

However, the 2021 F-150 equipped with 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine boasts a best-in-class towing capability of 14,000 pounds! If you need a skid steer loader larger than the Bobcat S62, then you need a larger trailer.
