Crazy or Doable?
Catchy title, huh? Posted this over on one of the F150 forums I frequent but want an RV'er perspective. Assuming all goes well next year we are planning on the RV to go with our truck. So we went ...

Best check your math, as you already have the front axle overloaded!
Even 57% of 6,540# is 3,728 very close to overloaded, once the WDH does it's thing the front axle will be over loaded.
I've corrected the numbers in my previous post.
The estimated numbers with WD applied are:
Front GAW = 3680# versus GAWR = 3750#
WDH restores 400# of the 450# which was removed due to WDH weight and tongue load
Rear GAW = 3760# versus GAWR of 4050#
WDH removes 600# of the 1550# which was added.
GVW = 7440# versus GVWR = 7650#
So, under this scenario, the front axle load was close to its GAWR, but the rear axle load was 290# under its rating.
