Jersey, follow this link to find the nearest CAT scale to you.

When you go to the scale you will want to get 3 separate weights,
1. Truck and trailer hitched with WD set as you typically travel.
2. Truck and trailer hitched but with all tension released from WD bars.
3. Truck by itself.
Pay close attention to make sure that the steer, drive and trailer tire's are all on their proper scale pads. Have the truck and trailer loaded as you would have them loaded for an average trip, gear, water, toys and people. The first weigh will be $12 and eac additional pass over the scale will be $2, money well spent.
Come back here and post the results from all three scale tickets along with your F-150's GVWR, F/R GAWR, current tire specs including weight ratings and payload per the door stickers. With all of that info it will be possible to figure if your combo can be better optimized with a little money and work.
