Think of all the time you'd save not stopping to refuel!

You think hitting that immovable object hurts then the trailer comes up and hits you in the ask me no more questions even if you try. Yeah Safety is a good thing. Reminds me of New Years Eve last year coming up a hill and turning into a side street . . . in the snow and ice . . . couldn't stop . . . couldn't turn . . . heading for the corner of a stone wall . . . finally stopped 2 feet from it and had to back up to make the turn.

Tell them to give you the diesel. I don't know the towing capacities off hand but 7000LB seems like on the high end for an F150.

I've got a 7x14 tandem axle box trailer myself. My previous towing vehicle was a GMC Yukon. When fully loaded (8000+lb) I averaged 9-10 MPG and had absolutely no power to climb hills. I recently picked up a GMC 3500 1ton Diesel Van. Not only does it pull the fully loaded trailer like a dream but I averaged 16.5mpg on my last 400mi round trip. Normally I average 17.5-18.5mpg unloaded in that van.
