New Member Introduction

[MikePi]

Hello, My name is Mike and am a new member. I don't yet own an RV. I joined this site because I am planning on purchasing a travel trailer and pickup truck to tow it, and I am seeking information regarding both. My first inquiry regards the truck: I am looking at purchasing a 35 foot trailer with dry weight of 7,300 pounds. Would an F-150 with factory towing package, with a towing capacity of 9,300 pounds, be adequate to tow this trailer? Any thoughts?

Welcome to the forum.

You are joining a good group of folks here with good information to share. Read the various threads here and ask questions as they come up or add information if you can. You may be pushing the limit when you load the trailer.

Good luck and enjoy the adventure!
