Despite how many dealers and service centers told us we could pull the Cougar, we took your advice and chose not to. Thank you for saving us and others from a possible accident.
Now we are looking at the Keystone Outback Ultra-Lite 221UMD. Either a 2019 or 2020...I don't see a difference other than the blind color.

It's just under 5000 lbs so hoping it will work. Can you provide me with your input for towing it?
Our tow vehicle is 2015 Ford F-150 3.5L eco boost, 3.31 axles, 4wheel drive, super crew cab, short bed
It will just be hubby, me, and our chihuahua all totaling a max of 300 lbs.
We're going to get a break controller installed next week.
I look forward to hearing from you...thank you for your help!

Its said on here....a lot. Dry weight from the factory means nothing. It only exists when the trailer leaves the factory. Instead, when buying, use the GVW, which is the combination of the dry weight plus the carrying capacity. For this trailer that is approximately 7200 pounds with a tongue weight of approximately 1100 pounds. Starting at 1900 pounds of payload for your truck, minus 300 passengers, 60 battery, 60 propane, 100 hitch weight,1100 tongue weight is a margin of 280 pounds. You will be under your payload number. You'll need to check the other numbers. Are you under the combined gross weight value, under your rear axle carrying capacity? Can your receiver handle 1100 pounds?
