Hello to everyone. My wife and I want to convert a cargo trailer into a camper. We've been using a Jayco popup for a while and have outgrown it. We have a 1999 Ford F-150 XL with the 4.6 L V-8 engine. We were wondering what's the best sized cargo trailer for the truck we have.
A 7' by 14' tandem axle cargo trailer weighs in at about 2200. I'm guessing the build will add roughly 1000 to 1500 pounds to the trailer weight. That all adds up to about 3700 pounds. Do you think a 7x14 at 3700 pounds would be too much weight for my truck to safely tow? Thanks for your advice.
