Hey everyone i just bought a new 29' tag travel trailer. I have a. 5.4 04 f150 super crew 4x4 with airbags and an edge evolution chip i know the rated towing on my truck just wondering if anyone else is pulling a similar load with a truck like this and how its going. Thanks

What's the weight?

I have a 23' keystone TT that weighs 5500 lb dry. I pull it with an 05 5.4 super crew 4x4 and have no issues. Only mod is edge in tow mode. I haven't taken a long trip yet but I do recommend a W/D hitch.

Does your trailer have electrick trailer brakes? If so, you may want to get a trailer brake controler. Your truck is pre-wired for the controler.

Yes i am eqiupt with a controller. I haul around a 16' horse trailer loaded with horses already but that's about 5500lbs. It pulls it fine but just wanted to know if 1000-1500 more pounds is gonna make a big difference. It says my truck should handle it but just looking to hear from someone with first hand experience at towing that weight
