I have a 2004 f150 fx4 with the 5.4. It has a weight capacity of 1700 lbs. I am considering purchasing a truck camper that weighs 1300 lbs. Loaded, and with me in the truck, it is close to 1800-1900 lbs. I would also like to pull a horse trailer with one horse and equipment (approx. 3500 lbs. and 350 lbs tongue weight). I was told this would be safe and work fine if I purchased something like the Tiburon/air shocks, etc. to keep the truck level. Total weight is under capacity. Horse trailer has brakes. I know a 3/4 ton would be fine, but the 150 is what I have. Any thoughts?

 

I would say get air bags then you can adjust left and right and give yo the nice even ride hight. I tow a 4153lbs trailer ( dry weight), and I tow it like nothing. I have a 04 FX4 5.4 with 3.73. You will know it is behind you.

 

Doesn't matter what you do, legally you will be far over your GVWR and GCWR. Will the change syou want work. Possibly. Safe, unlikely.

 

go for it! bag the rear to make it ride level and better. upgrade the brakes when you get the chance and you'll be set
