Maybe, maybe not? No info to go by on your 12 year old truck, so that's the best answer so far I think..

In the end, towing a huge brick that weighs more then the truck will always be a challenge for even a seasoned tower. If you have never towed anything before, then it could be even more of a challenge...

This is what I tow. It's only #7000 fully loaded, so it's well under it's "ratings", but it's all I want to tow and still be somewhat sane at my destination..

My truck specs are in my sig below.

Good luck! Mitch

 

What does your truck’s yellow sticker read?
On the door jam.

 

Does it have the power needed to be capable of pulling it across these great states? Of course.

Will it be safe, stable and fun in stops, curves, mountain roads, etc.? Depends on your skill and setup.

Will it "officially" be within the numbers of your truck's rating?....

... Probably not if you plan to have 4 passengers and a bunch of stuff in the cab.
Unless you have an odd number of lugnuts, that is.

 

Had a similar TT I was over on pretty much all ratings but was durable and had to do a lot of upgrades to get there (see signature) it also depends on your comfort level driving it. I wasn’t comfortable on long drives but would have taken it anywhere less than 400 miles. Thats why I went to a class A. Read my thread below to see what I had to do. happy camping!! And oh I forgot my hitch weight was 1,200lbs Billy

It's doable if:
-keep it under 65
-watch coolant temps
-have a decent level of skill towing

That's a similar weight/size as my TT. If you keep your head on a swivel, you'll be alright.

 

The yellow door sticker will be the determining factor for legal limits. Many other factors will determine your, and the trucks limits. A picture of the yellow door sticker really is needed to better advise you, along with where you plan to tow.

 

Yellow door sticker is not a definition for any legality. It is to do with what payload a vehicle is rated for. There are many factors involved. such as cooling, mechanical, tires, gear ratios, etc.

 

State are close to my trailer, dont think you'll have any problems as long as u stay safe an sane.

 

Exact configuration of your truck can make a difference. Wheelbase? Axle ratios? Tow/payload packages?

According to Ford's towing selector book for my year F-150, the only thing holding me back to a max of 9200 lbs. is the 3.31 axle ratio. If everything else was the same, but it had come with 3.55 or 3.73 gears, the max would have been 11,000 lbs.

Keep in mind the 80% rule too. You wouldn't want to regularly use more than 80% of your max towing limit, which in my case, limits me to 7360. Still some nice campers you can find under that limit.

 

Pretty simple answer. Most people will come here to get a confirmation that it will be fine.
The stats are the stats.
The answer is no.

 

I miss @meaz93

I'm just saying

But I'm thrilled when @Mr B drops in. 😉

 

I tend to operate under the belief that the yellow sticker is the max unless I go to a cat scale and know that number isn’t right. Either way my GVW and GCVW is my max. Any mods I do to the truck are just to improve my comfort within that number.
That said I do like to keep within 80% of that. With the numbers these things are putting out that’s still a pretty healthy trailer IMO
