pilotpip - I know we have had another discussion on the capabilities of the F150 . . . but I can certainly understand your situation . . . particularly with young kids and all their “stuff” to bring with you. If upsizing your truck is what you decide to do, I think the first decision is whether you will stay gas or go diesel. If you stay gas, a 3/4 ton will have about 3000 lbs of payload. More than enough and lots of selection on dealers lots to help you negotiate a good deal. If you go diesel, I second the recommendations here to consider a one ton. Because of the weight of the diesel powertrain, a 3/4 ton ends up with only about 2200 lbs of payload. Way out of proportion for what the diesel can pull. A one ton diesel will have about 3500 lbs of payload.
Since you have the F150, it would be interesting to try towing your new trailer with it, before making the decision to get a bigger truck. The F150 might surprise you .
