There is nothing mentioning about Tongue Weight.
I was looking at one the megalite TH's. Specs like this on a 23'
Model: Extreme Mege-Lite 23LT
Length 27'6"
Width 8'0"
Height 10'5"
Dry Weight: 4780 lb.
Axle: 2
Tongue Weight: 630 lbs.
GVWR: 7640 lbs.
Fresh Water: 100 gal.
Gray Water: 35 gal.
Black Water: 35 gals
The dry weight is fine but the GVWR will kill that little 4.6L. I have one in my '98 F150 with 3:55's and towed a 5500lb HTT. Had to shut the a/c off on some hills in NY State just to stay close to the speed limit with the engine screaming.
You're not going to enjoy driving that combo.
