[QUOTE="killingtime, post: 688659, member: 13032"] I have a 2008 F-150 crew cab short bed and I pull a 20' flatbed gooseneck with it. The heaviest thing I pull is my Ford 3000 and an implement and that is only occasionally. It pulls it ok, but then again I'm not pulling it everyday either. The bigger problem is stopping. I would make sure the trailer you buy has a good braking system. Mine has brakes on both axles and it makes a huge difference if you need to get stopped in a hurry when loaded. Also if you go with the crew cab short bed, the gooseneck is only about 16"(?) from the front of the bed in my Ford, so your stock trailer would need a pretty good taper to keep from hitting the cab in a sharp turn. My flatbed doesn't come close to hitting but I've been looking for a stock trailer I thought would work. They also make an adapter for your gooseneck that moves it back 4 or 6 inches, but never seen one in person. [/QUOTE]
