I pulled my Nash 17C trailer with my Polaris 500 in the bed of my f150 1100 miles to AZ and back last year without issue. Put a weight dist hitch on the trailer, run across some scales to fine adj the hitch and you should be fine.

I only have older experience with this.
My 1978 F150 windowed the block before the 3 month of age mark. And it did it again at the 6 month mark. It was fine after the 3rd engine. ( Ford charged me for the oil and filter both times btw)
The next F150 I owned was a 2009. It threw all the rod and main bearings before it hit the 50,000 km mark.
And Ford refused the warranty claim, so I had truck payments on a lawn ornament for a while.
I've never had a serious issue with any Chevy truck I've owned, so I'd say anything but Ford.
Peace.

I understand that. Had a F-150 that was a total lemon. My next two trucks were Chevys never had a problem. Im in a F-150 2.7 turbo 6. No issues. I just need a 3/4 to handle the weight of my Yamaha and tongue weight

I’d take an F250 Tremor with the 7.3 if I had an extra $80,000 laying around, which I don’t.

There was a 2024 at the Billings Cadillac dealership for $63,000 the other day. It was a Lariat with 7k miles. I came so close to buying it. I don’t need it but I wanted it. Not surprisingly, it sold fast.

That’s a great deal, which is sad to say. I wasn’t that much more than half that when I bought my tundra new in 2017.

Chevy/Gmc
Came out with a 4 cylinder Duro-max . For all the more you are hauling, neighbor is pulling a 23’ travel trailer with his, he’s very impressed with the power and gets 15 to 30 mpg. 15 hauling/ 30 around town.
Or a duelly 7.3 super cab 110 thousand. It’s only money

Buy a Ford 6.7 power stroke and be done with it. I have a 2017 with 210k on it, I bought it new and have had very few issues. I don’t haul a travel trailer but I pull with it pretty regularly up to 15k on my flatbed gooseneck. Once you pull with a 3/4 or 1 ton diesel you’ll roll your eyes at guys who say their under powered and under braked 1/2 ton pulls great. It’s not the same, not even close.
