Well ....I now have a 2022 F350 6.7 KR long bed CC (max GVWR) to tow a Reflection 220RK. I am concerned I don't have enough truck My old tow vehicle was a 04 F350 dually KR CC long bed.
And I will stay out of the F150 discussion unless you have the HD suspension package - Not just the HD tow package, Even then you pushing the limits on any 1/2 ton towable. Even some of the 3/4 ton trucks if not properly equipped could be questionable. Its the same across all brands - double check the truck capacity against your trailer pin or hitch weight and GVWR.
I hate to say this but I have seen a lot of overloaded rigs on the road lately. Just signs of the times I guess.2018 Reflection 150 Series 220RK 5th wheel with 6K axle upgrade.

Yep, I see it all the time. It can't be stressed enough. Pay attention to GVWR, GAWR, GTWR AND GCWR. KNOW YOUR AVAILABLE PAYLOAD! And CAT SCALES are your friend!
Oh yes, don't forget to subtract the weight of any installed dealer options from your posted truck payload number, or, just take it to the Cat Scales to get the current weight of your truck.

Last year I towed our 260RD with a 2021 F-150 3.5eb. Not a fun experience.
Now, it's a 2022 F-350 Lariat 7.3. What a difference.2022 F350 CCSB Lariat Ultimate 7.3

Glad your F-150 is working out for you.
My XLT Sport SCREW 5.5' box was light on payload, so I was over the GVWR. It was also very difficult to maneuver with the short box, even with the Turning Point unlocked.
The worst part however was how the trailer would start to sway in a crosswind or when a semi went by. The 'light and floaty' front end didn't make things any easier.
Now with the F-350 all that has gone away and it's a much more enjoyable towing experience.
I would love to have an electric tow vehicle. Instantaneous torque whenever you needed it. Interested to see the actual effective towing range.2022 F350 CCSB Lariat Ultimate 7.3
