I have to agree with the group here. I tow with an F-150 and feel that it can be done safely with certain trailers. I know the majority of the group here will and do disagree with me, the general Conesus is to always go to a 3/4 ton or 1 ton. I have to say though that your combination made me cringe. That is a lot of trailer behind a light duty truck. With those weights I cannot see how you would ever be under your Payload capacity and GAWR. My trailer is only 29ft long and dry weight of 4800lbs with a GVR of 7000 and I would not dream of anything bigger with my 1/2 ton. Regardless of what the salesmen are telling you I think you need to rethink this. At a minimum have the RV dealer hook that trailer up to your truck before you buy it and take it for a good long drive on the highway, that alone will convince you that this is an ill conceived idea.
