Newbie - confused about hitch weight
Well, I am a newbie and just bought my TT the other day. Purchased the Palomino Solaire Eclipse. Its dry weight is 6800#. My TV is a 2005 F150 4x2 5.8L V8 with a 144 WB and max trailer weight of 860...

While I seriously doubt you will add 1700lbs to your TT. You will prolly be over on your GVWR.
Are you going to carry any people? , such, as spouse, or children. Remember their weight counts toward the GVWR of the truck, and the GCVWR, meaning your weight over 150lb and their weight takes away from the towing capacity of the truck. So you really don't have a max tow cap of 8600lb once you get in the truck.
Another question that jumped right out at me. What style F150 has a 5.8 V8? Never seen one. Except in the older 150s. Been wrong befor
