My 11 has the light towing package, rated for around 7000 pounds.
The 1/2 ton chassis handles a trailer fine except that you have to set your load so not to get more weight on the gooseneck than the soft 1/2 ton springs can handle.
I always thought the folks with big 5th wheel campers on a 1/2 ton were nuts until I owned and pulled with this F150. The truck has that electronic stability system that eliminates the trailer wagging the pickup tail, so even a violent emergency lane change happens without drama. Also I guess there is a reason for those 18 inch wheels, they allow large brakes, I would say equal or better than a light duty 3/4 ton of 10-15 years ago. Another problem with 1/2 ton used to be that the gearing was way wrong for trailer pulling. Today's 6-8 spd automatics pretty much make that a non problem. We have the 3.73 gearing which gives great mpg in 6th running empty, and plenty torque to pull those two trailers at 25-2700 rpm in 5th at the speed limit.
