Not at all. After you've towed with it once, you might be thinking that it is too much truck for your travel trailer.

 

Estimate your wet (all gear in tt) weight. Say another 1000 in gear, food? I may be estimating high. I'm new to the ecoboost, so new that I pick up my truck tomorrow! Used to have a 03 super crew with the 5.4 and sold it about a year ago.

with my TT we were fine with the wet weight of the tt, where we ran close was the gcwr weight ( both truck and tt weighed together).

here is a link for tow capacities http://www.ford.com/resources/ford/general/pdf/towingguides/15RV&TT_Ford_F150_r1_Jan12.pdf

 

whats the axle ratio? max trailer pkg? power wise you should not have issue. add a good WDH for sway and you are g2g

 

3.31, Regular tow package not max tow. I plan on getting a quality WD hitch prior to purchasing the TT.

 

I tow my boat which weighs 6200lbs. With my 2.7 and it dosent work at all to pull it. It out pulls my 2014 5.0 that worked like crazy to pull the same boat.

Rent or borrow a trailer of the same weight and tow it around for an afternoon before you buy.

 

I have a 2015 2.7L. My fiance and I are looking to buy a TT. The one we agree on is 28' 6'' and 5500 dry weight. It will be mostly used for short trips,but occasionally may have to haul it from Texas to Northwest Indiana. The numbers all work out, but realistically is it too much travel trailer for my truck?

What #s are you talking about? I don't know what the payloads are for the 15s but that would be my only concern. Realistically, your trailer would way around 7000 lbs after it's loaded with all your gear and propane battery etc. At 12% tw, that's 840 lbs taken off your payload, minus a WDH (60-100 lbs) and then subtract everything else in the truck that goes along with you and you can see that your payload goes down pretty quickly. Check your sticker in the door jamb to see what your max carrying capacity (payload) is and go from there.

With that being said, I don't think you'll have any problems pulling or stopping the trailer, short or long distances, on flat ground or mountains.

 

If the numbers work out then your truck will be fine. I think the question is, is it too much travel trailer for the person hauling it? Your truck will do it, not only physically but also legally. You will just have to figure out if you're comfortable doing it. This is most of the time the biggest issue with people, and also why you see alot of people buying f250/350 trucks to haul bumper pull campers. Not necessarily because the truck won't do it, but because the person pulling it isn't comfortable pulling it. When in doubt....slow down. You'll be fine.
