Default Can I pull this boat?

If the question is serious .... I still say the F-150 is too light of a duty
truck.


The real question is how much does the boat and trailer weigh vs the
max tow rating of the truck. That triple axle, steel frame trailer is
not a good start, probably close to 2,000 lbs all by itself. For a
boat to require triple axles probably implies a weight over 6,000
giving us a total somewhere north of 8,000. That's too much for a
light duty truck.
