Hello everyone, new member as of a month or so ago. We've been TT people for several years and truly like our 25RB. Last fall we were camping and the people who pulled in next to us had a small 24 ish size 5th wheel which they were pulling with their F150. My friend and I spoke with him about it, and he advised he's had zero issues. Both my friend and I have always heard, plus read, that you really shouldn't.
Recently I noticed, shortly after I joined this forum, someone had mention the Jayco Eagle SLE 24 MLE. It got my interest, so I've looked at it, only online, no one in my area actually has one for us to truly look at. So, for now all I've done is research the weight and such and compared to the specifications of the 24 MLE.
I'm driving a 2021 XLT F150 with the 3.5 eco, max. trailer tow package. The specs. are, for trailer towing:
GCWR - 19500
GVWR - 7050
Gross Axle - Ft. 3525
R. 4150
Max Loaded Weight: 13900
Payload: 2100
Base curb weight: Ft. 2844
R. 2604
Total - 4948
Specs on the trailer: Dry Weight 7,690 lbs.
Payload Capacity 1,610 lbs.
GVWR 9,300 lbs.
Hitch Weight 1,475 lbs.
Your thoughts, would my F150 be able to handle this? Yes, no, no way don't do it.
Thanks to whomever takes some time from their day to provide me with feed back.
