OP, I've been in the same boat as you for awhile now. My truck is much older, 2001 F350 with a GVWR of 9900lbs and a rear axle rating of 6830lbs. I have been going back and fourth trying to decide if I should go over my trucks GVWR but staying under all the other ratings. The wife and I finally decided on a Cougar X-Lite 28DBI. It's GVWR is 10,000lbs and dry hitch is only 1390lbs. It has everything we are looking for and is under all my trucks ratings. Best of luck with your decision!

Your F350 will safely pull that Cougar, no problem.
