Anyone have a Scorpion
Any additions will not increase your towing limits. They may make it tow the load easier, The Scorpion has a gross weight of 6800lbs (3900lbs trailer - 2900lbs payload including propane, water and supplies)
I don't know what the tongue weight limit of your dodge may be. I do know the F150 is rated for 500lbs and 990lbs with an equalizer hitch. Check with your dealer on your towing limits before getting a hauler.

Thanks

I don't think it's really an issue of being able to pull the rig that matters. You have to consider things like braking, handling, frame strength, and suspension capabilities. Ever heard the saying "the tail wagging the dog"? This would apply.
You are VERY underpowered with that powerplant too.
Would you buy a Grizzly for MX racing? Would you buy a YFZ to work on the farm? Why not buy a truck that's meant to tow heavy loads?
