F150 for Eddie Bauer 27FB?

First time poster here! I am acquiring my first A/S and am really excited. It's a 2014 Eddie Bauer 27FB. I'm also shopping for an adequate tow vehicle. I've been looking at some used F150s and have narrowed down some options. I'm trying to avoid spending more on a F250, or a F150 with 3.73 axle. I don't need anything excessive. Prior postings here about the F150 Ecoboost models with trailers longer than 25' omit weight calculations and estimations. I need some hard numbers and would appreciate your input.



I'm looking at a 2011 F150 Ecoboost 4x2 with SuperCrew cabin, 145" wheelbase, 3.55 axle, and 7100# GVWR package (i.e. 1760# maximum payload weight), 9800# maximum tow capacity. Would this tow vehicle would be (1) adequate; (2) borderline; or (3) inadequate?



I am also unsure about hitch selection. I'm looking at Propride 3P, Reese trunnion style WD hitch with dual cam sway control. I'd like something easy to hitch and unhitch with minimal adjustments each time. Any recommendations for the hitch weight rating? 1000? 1200? 1400?



[For reference] Eddie Bauer 27FB specs:

Hitch Weight (w/LP & w/o options, water & cargo) = 885 lbs

Unit Base Weight (w/LP & w/o options, water & cargo) = 5,975 lbs

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating = 7,800 lbs

Net Carrying Capacity (NCC=GVWR-UBW) = 1,825 lbs



Thank you in advance for your input!
