Is it the HD payload package? if so Yes if not you will have to post some weights and the exact 150 you have.

Post the specs of the trailer and the specs of the truck.

Then post your willing to put up with bad handling, slow braking, and low acceleration.

Then lets do the math.

Will it pull it? Yes.
Would I pull it with that truck? No.

Been there, done that and would not recommend it.

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating will be 7,200, or 7,700, or 8,300 depending on the truck configuration.

Max Trailer Weight can vary widely depending on axle ratio, and whether equipped with Max Tow (or HD Payload) With Max Tow can be as high as 11,300. Typically about 9,200 or so with Regular Tow.

Payload ranges from 1,600 to 2,000 to 2,400

There are so many configurations that we would need to know how your truck is equipped to know exact figures.

You would probably be fine if you have MAX TOW and/or HD Payload. You would be very near (or above) your limited with regular tow.

That will be one heck of a load for any f150. Too much IMO.

You need to run the numbers of the exact F150 model that you would be considering with the above TT weights (as camping, not dry brochure). Our new F150 (with maxtow package) has a GVWR of 7,650#, with 1,870# of payload, and a stated max towing capacity of 11,200#. Remember that the payload must account for all passengers, cargo, and the tongue weight of the TT and hitch. Good luck on your decision.

Like others said if you have max tow you should be fine the actual truck configuration would be helpful
