Here's the 2011 F150 towing guide for you to look at. Like I posted, the rating including trailer weight for the 5.0 in a Supercab is 9500lbs. The 6 speed transmission is worth it's weight in gold for your needs. https://www.ford.com/resources/ford/..._F150nov18.pdf
Depending on where you're at financially, it may be advantageous to look at a close out 2014 STX with trailer tow. Interest rates are cheap, you'll get a warranty, and it will be new, not somebodys abused rig. Might take a look around. If making payments, used car interest rates are most often so high that buying new is cheaper across the loan.
All I know is that the F 150 was the best selling pickup compared to GM and Dodge. Look at the history of the F 150 and see how it outsold all vechiles including cars for many years. The numbers don't lie the F 150 had been the pickup to catch up to. They have more variations than all the others. And GM is also going to a all aluminum pickup also.

Just be sure those historical records aren't separating GMC models from Chevrolet. That would give a false reading.
Thanks for the post, but my feed is transported in 55 gallon plastic barrels that require a certain footprint that would require a trailer anyway, plus I want to get to a 6000 or even 7500 pound feed run so I can reduce trips. At 14 cents a pound, capacity will limit me before expense, plus the entire return trip loaded is all uphill so I don't need to worry about going DOWN that 8 mile, 8% grade on interstate 8.
OK, I understand. As long as you're sure you can do everything with trailers that are 10K or less, and will never have a future need/want to load the truck heavy in the bed or pull very large trailers, then I'd say you're good to go with a properly equipped F-150. Personally, if the price difference weren't too great I'd still go with the 3/4 or 1 ton truck. Good luck.

Gmc and Chevrolet trucks are made on the same assembly line only differance is the trim packages. That's it I have a friend that worked at the old Pontiac truck plant a truck came off the line with one side with the GMC logo and the other side with the Chevorlet logo.

Yeah, a dealer showed my one that came in with a GMC tailgate on an otherwise Chevy pickup.
What I was meaning about published sales figures is that they don't separate GMC from Chevrolet when listing the results, or do they?

I think they do split them. The same thing happened with the Ford Taurus, it always came in 2nd to the Camry. The Mercury Sable wasn't included in the Taurus sales. Drove Ford crazy.
I do some farming. Have some cattle, etc. Can't you just have that feed delivered? Get a grain bin to stash it in. Usually they will come out and drop it off.

Someone already responded to this argument of yours earlier in the thread...

Ford takes every opportunity it can to remind us their F-Series trucks have been the best-selling vehicles in America for more than thirty years, but there's a little more to the story. Between the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra lineups, GM has outsold Ford on full-size trucks in eight of the last 16 years.
Remember, the "F-SERIES" is always listed as the best-selling truck, not the F-150.

For a 33rd year, Ford's F-Series pickup took its place at the head of the top 20 best-selling vehicles in the USA, outselling all other car and truck models.
That includes the F-450 and F-550.
GM does not compete in the MDT market, so those numbers have been misleading for a while.
