Can I Tow It?
I have a 2005 f-150 4x4 with the 3.73 rearend. I am looking to buy a 30ft. camper. The GCWR on the camper is 9500a lbs. I live in SC and we like to go to the beach, lake, and mountains. Can I tow this safely?

I wouldn't tow that weight with that truck. Downsize the trailer or upsize the truck. By the time you add your family, gear, supplies etc you'll be well overweight and a safety risk to you, your family, and those around you.

Plus, if you were involved in an accident and your ins company found out you were towing more than you were sup to, they may not pay.......... If the accident was your fault and an atty got involved, you may find yourself in a nasty suit.
