Towing a Gooseneck Trailer?

[Aaron]

So I recently scored a pretty big trailer, and it's a Gooseneck so I'm wondering if I can tow this thing with my Raptor? Anyone ever tried it before? I think the trailer weighs about 12000lbs or so. I figure I can just get the longer bumpstops from RPG and I'll probably be fine. My only other worry is how the truck will tow with my 4" lift. What do you all think?

Trailer looks similar to this (Google'd this pic).










If only there was a website I could consult for towing info

That 5.4 might be a problem.

Gen2 eco in 4low should be able to handle that easy. your mpg will be like 8

You probably need another 4" of lift and you'll be good.

I like to take a lot of stuff camping...and then add horses in too.

Weight distribution hitch and you'll be fine.

I'd put a body lift as well

I'd appreciate it if you'd provide constructive comments to my completely serious thread. I'm looking for legitimate towing advice here.
