Why not ? We have a variety of properly equipped tandem axle trailers at the shop and a properly equipped F-150 pulls them up and down the hills here just fine.

14x7 enclosed trailer weighs about 2200 pounds ... 3 dressers around 2650 ... Lets say 5000 pounds ... The 2021 F-150 3.5L EcoBoostŽ V6 engine boasts a best-in-class towing capability of 14,000 pounds. With these kinds of numbers, you can easily tow a horse trailer or souped-up boat ... Too simple ??

Ive got a 7 x 14 v nose Legend double axle that can do it. I pull with an 02 F150. Gas mileage is terrible. 10.5 per gallon, but cheaper than a new truck payment

Sure it will. Modern half tons have a rating of 11-13K.
A 2500 with a diesel will certainly burn less fuel, and handle better, but saying it "won't do it" is untrue.
OP, a 20' V-nose snowmachine trailer is what you seek

Op, I would recommend a vnose 7x16 for baggers. I have a 7x14 that I use to tow 2 baggers, wouldn’t be comfortable putting a 3rd in there though it could be done, too close for my liking.
The debate about what kind of truck to tow with is real life with me. I used a Chevy Silverado 1500 with a 6.2 liter to tow just fine but the gas mileage was bad and with only a 25 gal tank, 8/9 mpg doesn’t get you far between stops. I finally ended up with a Silverado 2500 diesel in 2019 and night and day. It doesn’t even feel like you’re towing anything going up those Rocky Mountain inclines. Will keep that truck for many more years.
