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)...

6k dry is my standard recommendation for the more capable half tons. People that but 7kdry+ and have someone like your truck generally report some form of stability issues when towing @highway speeds. There are exceptions for certain needle in haystack half tons like Ford's Max Payload package or GM's NHT package. That GD 2250 is 5500 pounds dry, Even at 7k loaded, 1000 pound TW, you have 900 pounds of payload to load in on cab and bed. Seems like plenty of margin to me. :)
Well seeing as how it was placarded for 6,995 until just recently it does at least meet my Grandfather's old smell test of Trailer Weight = Truck GVWR. I doubt he would be a fan of 14,000 lb Trailers and 7,000 GVWR Trucks.
