1/2 Ton Limit
Current set-up 2018 F150 Screw 4x4 3.5EB (1907 lb payload). Husky Centerline TS Hitch Jayco 22FB (6000 GCWR). No real stability issues. I usually have 1500+ lb left for tongue weight (I'm solo)...

Thanks Guys...
I guess I'm gunshy because of all the sway issues I've read about with 1/2 tons and longer heavier travel trailers.
At 27' 11" a 2250RK doesn't really appear as small to me as I'm sure it appears to some of you. 1.5' longer and 25% Heavier seems like a significant change
Don't forget "all" the issues you read about are recycled stories told over and over by the same 6 folks on a forum.
I'm pulling a tip to tail trailer of 28' loaded at 6300lbs with a 15-16% tongue weight and it follows the truck like it's on rails even with a 20-25 MPH (flags straight out) crosswind. I put back 50-75% of the weight on the front axle with the WDH. Like you I'd read ALL the "horror" stories but discovered they either hadn't set THEIR rig up properly, or just don't know. And let me add if you quiz them they travel at 70-75 mph, 1/2 tons are very capable at reasonable speeds of 65 mph.
