How does your 04-08 F150 handle the trailer?

Looking at 04-08 F150 Super Crew's now and we have a 30 ft trailer that weighs about 6500 lbs loaded.

Need a nice ride and relatively economical truck 97% of the time and something that can haul the trailer to the campground a few times per year.

Hows your 5.4 MPG empty?

Thanks!

Don't pull anything heavy so no input there.
Mileage is an average of 14.3 all driving.
Highway top around 16 MPG.
5.4 2004 lariat with 3.73 gears and 18 inch wheels.

 

Hi you well be able to pull a trailer that size fine. I see those trucks always pulling about that size trailer around here. I have a 2007 that i pull stock trailer around and does it just fine.

 

Yes I do. I have a lightweight travel trailer that's around 5500 pounds. I pull it fine with my F150. I get 15-16 mpg on average empty. But I get around 11 mpg pulling the trailer. I pull it around the mountains majority of the time. Most of the F150 in this generation can tow up to 8-9000 lbs.
