First off that's a nice looking truck for an 2001. My 2004 F350 weights 8,200# with us and fuel so you will probably tip the scales around 7,500#. 9,900 GVWR - 7,500(guess) = 2,400# cargo. The trailer you are looking at will probably end up between 11 and 11,500# actual with food and stuff. So 20% is 2,300# pin weight.
It's close and as others have said a trip to the scale is in order. Is the empty weight for the trailer from the actual trailer or a brochure? The brochure will not represent the options you may or may not have. The actual dry weight sticker on the trailer should be as it left the manufacturer.
lawrose: nice looking rig but I had to chuckle as my F350 almost weighs the same as your whole rig. Keep the shiny side up and the dirty side down..... :)
