I used my 2014 F150 subercab with 3.5 ecoboost to pull:

~16' BigTex trailer with brakes (dont know model, friends trailer, but it was very well built)
-4,000 pound IH 2444 with hydraulic lift on it
-400 pound small lathe
-500 pounds of random stuff on side opposite lathe for balance

I did 70+ on the highway with it from Austin to DFW and averaged over 12mpg. Truck acted like it could've taken another 2-3000 pounds back there easily. Also I had the bed loaded to the gills with tools, probably ~1200 pounds of weight in it.

Not recommended.

But yes, the truck will do it just fine
