Need Assistance

We are looking at purchasing a new travel trailer and I trying to confirm my truck is sufficient. All the math I have done checks out but I have never hauled anything longer than a 21 foot toy hauler.

So the truck is a 2018 F150 SuperCrew 4x4 with 6.5 foot bed. Also includes the max towing package with 3.55 gears and the payload is 1807 pounds. Traveling is 2 adults weight less than 150 pound each and 2 small children a 3 year and 6 year old. I have attached a picture of the window sticker for additional reference.

We are looking at a few Transcend xPlore trailers, the 243BH, 247BH, and a 265BH. Any trailer will be connected to a Blue OX WDH. So with all the information here so far what is the general consensus? I know the weights listed for travel trailers are generally under what they actually are so I am hoping someone will have a similar trailer/truck and can help.

Thanks

​Hi and welcome, I'm moving your post to the hitching section where you will likely get more advice than you wanted!

Right now in looking at the 3 rigs you picked, and the capacities of your truck, I personally would stay away from the 265. I would not tow much over 80% of capacity and you would be at 95% with the 265. I think you would be fine with the other two units. Again - only my opinion.

I am guessing tongue weight on the 265 is the issue.
