Updated 06/12/2017 | Published 06/10/2017 >
Question:
A F150 2017 can it be equipped with a gooseneck and handle 1420# hitch weight and under 10000# trailer weight? Max tow and max payload package is this enough to not damage truck or drag back end down?

Expert Reply:
There is a really wide range for towing capacities for the 2017 Ford F-150. From what I was able to look up the capacity is between 5,000 lbs and 10,500 lbs. You are going to first need to determine what your truck's capacity is based on how it's equipped before determining if your truck has the capacity needed for the trailer you plan to tow. Easiest way would be to give you VIN to a local Ford dealer and have them pull up it's capacity.
For a gooseneck hitch that is confirmed as a fit for your 2017 Ford F-150 we have the B and W Turnoverball part # BW77FR which would work well as long as you have the needed capacity. B and W make the nicest hitches around so I know this hitch will fit and work well for your truck.
