I'm trying to find out how much weight an F-150 can handel from either a load in the bed or a trailer. I have found heavy duty coil springs for the f-150 along with 5 leaf rear springs......overloads and 1 1/8" sway bars. With thoes things on the truck could it handel a small gooseneck?

I have no direct experince on max load on an f150, and I am sure someone will jump in real quick on this but, Brakes are the limiting factor on SAFE hauling.

Well yeah.......i think the most i'd haul would be a fullsize truck....I just use a gooseneck at work and have hauled with a bumper hitch trailer to and i just like the way the gooseneck handels alot better......plus you can turn alot more before a gooseneck will hit the truck. i'm only on this crusade because i found a gooseneck hitch for the f-150
