With a proper class IV or class V hitch installed, I would say yes. If you have never pulled a large trailer before, please do some research and be very careful. Pulling a trailer that is larger and heavier than your truck can be challenging and dangerous without proper precautions.

Once you load up the trailer you should weigh it. I would bet you will be overweight. If you do go ahead with this trailer you should use a weight distributing hitch but I recommend a 2500 or 3500 truck.

I towed a 35' Avion with my F150. It handled it OK but for long term towing I would go with a heavier truck.
