I know you all get this all the time. But I wanted to give my setup and see if folks think this is OK. I weighed my 2011 Keystone Passport Ultralight. It is 5764 lbs shipping weight which I assume ...

What you are towing is not a problem but I do think you need to look at what you are loading on the truck.
The trailer is probably going to have around 800# tongue weight.
With you in the truck, plus DW (let's say 100#:W) and almost 200# of kids plus dog, you are close to 500#.
IF you are carrying ANOTHER 500# of "stuff" you are asking your truck to carry 1800#.
Some F-150s have a payload capacity of only 1300#, some (the HD package) can carry over 3000#.
You need to look at the "Occupant and Tire Loading Information" yellow sticker on or near your driver's door frame.
It will tell you what your truck can carry. If it's more than 1800#, you are golden. If less you are going to have to reduce the "stuff" you are putting in the back.
