A few answers.
Max tongue weight of the hitch w/o WDH is 500#. Max tongue load w/ WDH is 1,130#
I was hauling between 50 and 60 gallons. The trailer gauge for fresh water had just lit up 2/3 full. So I don't know exactly how many gallons I had. The fresh water capacity is 90 gallons including hot water heater.
Tires certainly aren't the limiting factor. They have a 2150# capacity, totaling 8600#. They are GY Endurance ST205/75R17 LRD.
Don't know about the tongue couple.
I bought the truck with HDPP. It was hard to find, and wouldn't have traded by old 2005 F150 on anything but a HDPP. This one was located up in PA by my local Richmond, VA dealer.
Besides the wife and I, I added a Leer cap on the 8' box, plus I carry an air compressor & 2.25 ton floor jack, plus 2 Honda 2K gennys, 13.5 gallons of gasoline, tools, etc in the bed.
I want to trim some weight off the tongue. Yesterday I did remove 71#. I weighted the removed items as I removed them from the front pass through storage. The pass through storage is about 6 feet behind the tongue couple.
I do know it towed well this past weekend. Very civilized. Didn't pay the passing 18 wheelers any mind.
