Just read an article about perfect storm a person traveling with a Ford F 150 with a long travel trailer hitting frost heave in the road and tractor trailer going other direction. because of the bottoming out of both vehicles and the push of air from the tractor trailer.they lost control and went off the road. they had load levelers an sway control on. is there a max length ratio - tow vehicle to travel trailer for safety reasons.
Good question!
ie: how fast were they going?, how long was the trailer?, what was the weight of the trailer?, 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive F150?, reg cab or super or crew cab?
Was the truck factory rated (not aftermarket, because more than load levelers are involved) for the load?
If they had load levelers, then it sounds like they were over the factory limitations and were trying to correct an existing overload problem.
Common sense.....
On a two land road at 50 mph, the speed differential is 100 mph. Even without the frost heave, if you see that tractor trailer coming at you and you don't slow down and move over away from the center of the road, you'll feel it with a properly equipped tow vehicle.
I don't know of any company that has a length limitation.
Ford, Fiat(Chrysler, Jeep, Ram, Dodge) have frontal area limitations so that only full size vehicles are rated to to 60 sq ft of frontal area. All of their mid size vehicles have frontal area limitations that would not permit pulling a TT or HTT.
Other than the extended height on your TV, I would think it should do well, especially with a lower center of gravity than 4x4 full size tv's.
