Well, I am brand new to this camping stuff. I guess I really have a question or looking for a thumbs-up or thumbs-down if what I have is ok. I do not know the weight of my truck (2010 F150 FX4 Supercab, door and a half). My camper is a 2011 34' 5th wheel (Chaparral Lite-for 1/2 tons) that weighs 8330. Truck is equiped with a 5.4L engine and has the max trailer towing package. I live in southeast louisiana which is flat lands but I do want to get out and around other states.
My Truck:
GCWR - 17,100
Axle Ratio - 3.73E

Firstly, You need to study this guide for your answer: 2010 F150 Towing Guide
Second, if you have Microsoft Excel on your computer, you may use the spreed sheet shown below to guide you through weighing your truck and trailer.
