A little uncomfortable with my set up...

Everyone is giving great advice! It looks like my truck as P tires, so next time I buy tires (spring), I will go LT. That should help and is a no brainier.

Regarding the hitch. It is a Curt Manufacturing Cur17022 Round Bar Weight Distribution Complete Kit 10,000 lb Towing/1,000 lb Tongue Weight.

The specs on Jayco trailer are 6,450lbs dry and the hitch weight is 990lbs. I pack fairly light as most trips are just long weekends. But we can account for 2-3 dirt bikes at 250lb each, a 125lb generator and 54 gallons of water (450lbs), and another 200lbs for kitchen stuff, 2 propane tanks and a battery. So rough estimate 8000lbs?

I will take pictures of the set up tomorrow as I am taking it in for winterization.

Also, I have no idea where to weight the set up, how do I locate a place to do this?

A 12K+ GVWR TH behind a F150 with only a round bar 1K TW hitch makes me think you are not just a little, but a LOT over in more than one rating and some very safety related like tires. This makes my recommendation to NOT TOW THIS except to the nearest CAT scale to see where you are weight wise. Finally, PLEASE be VERY, VERY CAREFUL getting to the CAT scale since your rig could possibly be well past being safe on the road.

The GVWR for the Jayco is actually 9950lbs. The configuration of this F150 is rated at 10,400lbs. Payload is 1970lbs on the door panel. I do agree upon further inspection that my tonque weight is probably over 1000lbs (maybe 1200-1400, but just a guess). So I may be over the WD tonque limit.
