This one is WAY better. It gives the vehicle build details if you:

FordEtis home page

Then click the "Vehicle" tab.
Enter your VIN.
Then click the "Minor Features" down arrow to see your build details.

You can tow many trailers with a F150. I towed a Rockwood 8289 as well Bama Bob still has he same rug. IF old copy tows a fiver with a Chevy no less and has for some time with no issues.

Totally up to you. If you watch the CCC you can meet maximum ratings with out any problem.

I have 2 friends that pulled 5ers with half tons. They both had airbags and a slider hitch. Pulled fine here in the midwest. I like the TT route because I didn't want to give up my.truck bed to always have a hitch in there.

You don't have to give up your bed a superglide hitch is completely removable in less than 30 minutes by yourself it sits on rails made for your model truck mine was a 16000 lb hitch was a load for me but not for a young healthy man

That was on a larger truck but would be same thing but lighter on F150 didn't want somebody to think was towing that much with 150

My buddy's hitch weighed 350 pounds... even if it was 150 pounds. . Not.something I would want to be taking in and out every time I run to home depot.

I like the idea of hanging it from the pin, when not using.

Mine comes apart, and slid under the work bench, in the garage during winter.

It's still a two person job.

It maybe a two person job if you have two people but I didn't have two everytime I wanted it out l lifted off bed rails with post hole diggers handle bought just for my hitch would work onto 1" pic and roll off bed onto table made just for hitch sometimes I removed hitch head sometimes I didn't then removed rails my friend has same hitch and he also removed by himself didn't like to leave hanging on fifth wheel but did try that one time I guess point being if there's a will there is a way

The best RV for a F150 lays between this



And this.



Pick out what ever it takes to make you comfortable.
