Check the hitch on the F-150, you might have the same issue and need to replace the hitch. 2020 F-150 Towing The 3.3 engine will only get you 7,500 ish towing. Payload is a little more than Ranger.

The hitch weight is 524lbs, which expect would increase with propane and batteries.

Interesting 5th wheel. While I agree towing a 5th wheel is nicer than a trailer and this one is shorter than most trailers. Having no shower is a deal killer, along with it looks like no external storage and since it is using the bed you have lost most of that. Chris

Good luck on the 5th wheel. I looked and couldn't anything in the US.

Thanks, for the advice. I have quite a bit of towing experience and am comfortable with the weight and size. We are really looking for a couples trailer and not a minimal trailer.

Thanks everyone your input. I have one other question and that is the brake controller. How do you seat it up for 2 very different trailers? Thanks, Chris

So, interesting the Ranger will cheaper to insurance than than my 2002 f-350. Agree, I wouldn't know it was back there but finding places to park the f-350 crewcab long bed is a royal pain. Mileage might be the same except diesel is more here than gas.

Hi, I know that towing capacity would not increase but we have lots of mountain passes, so wondering if the extra power is worth it. Thanks, Chris

I am downsizing from a F-350 crewcab diesel 4x4 towing a Montana 5th wheel. Love the rig, tows great. But, the big truck is hard to park and we would like to go to national parks which we can't do now. Also in the PNW so mountains and narrow roads.

I agree if you maxed out at 7,000. The empty weight being 5,600 leaves alot carrying weight. I only plan on max 4 day trips so figure max of 1,000 lbs or 6,600 going down the road. Ford, as others gives you a good safety margin. LT tires for example have a 10% safety margin, the they figure...

I am looking at getting a Ranger to tow a Grand Design 23 LDE. I am interested in you like towing thathow it works for those that either that trailer or a similar one. I am considering getting at 2024 with the 2.7 so knowing if the 2.3 might work would be very helpful. Thanks Chris

When looking at frontal area, you have to subtract the frontal area of the truck. I found that on Ford's site but couldn't recall where. It makes sense as the truck is already pushing itself through the air and why you get more frontal area for a 5th wheel. Good luck on finding the frontal...
