We are thinking about trading our current dodge 1500, that I understand to be capable of 8,800lbs towing in and possibly getting a F150 with the 5.0 or maybe a diesel if we can find one at the right price. The issue that I’m having is knowing what to look for with towing capacity. We currently use our truck to haul atvs and our tractor occasionally. Tractor weighs around 3,500lbs and would like to get an 18’ trailer to haul it with. My fiancé wants to get a three horse trailer in the future as well. When looking at specs I see some f150’s that say it has a 6000 gvwr package and some have a 7000 gvwr package. When you look online at certain years they claim 13000lb towing capability, but I haven’t seen anything that specs exactly what it takes to get that rating. Same issues with the diesels. We would probably be looking at getting a 6.0 Ford, the newer 6.7 are our of our budget. Not sure yet what we’ll do but would like to make the best decision possible if we get another truck.
