How big of a GN can a 2007 F-150 pull. Does it matter as far as length or weight.
For instance would a 2001 Sundowner 2 horse straight load with a 4 foot dressing room work with this truck?
I am struggling trying to figure out just how big I can go.
Thanks

Also
Is there ANYONE out there who would finance a trailer themselves?
I know it is alot to ask but I know somewhere out there somebody is in a position to need to move a trailer or get from under a payment and I can help, or it would help us both. I have money to put down.
I know it is a longshot but just thought I would throw it out there. Some of the interest rates I have been quatoed are ridiculous not that I have a problem with paying interest but I am also not intereested in paying double for a trailer.

You will need to check your specific F150's capacity.You should be able to find this information in the driver's side door jam I think. I had a 97 F150 extended cab that had been special ordered (not by me but the fella I purchased it from) and it had more towing capacity than normal. I hauled a 16ft GN steel stock trailer for several years with no problem. Only hauled 3 horses a couple of times and only for very short distances. Of course you will need to know what the trailer you want to pull weighs as well as the truck's capacity. There are quite a few people on this forum that can help you with the calculations.

The length of the trailer is not the big deal.  But the weight is.

Look at total weight and hitch or pin weight. You may be fine for total weight and be too heavy on the gooseneck hitch or vice versa.
