You've got the new truck, right? Can you get the new weights while adjusting the WDH? When you do this, take 3 passes. The two you have done, truck alone and truck/TT. Also get one with the truck/trailer without the WD bars attached. This will provide actual TW.
Your OEM Ford receiver should be good for at least 960 pounds, probably 1150.
I will do this, but not until I get to 1000 miles per the manual. I'm only at 460 now. So, I plan on driving the heck out of her this weekend to try to get to 1k miles ASAP. Once I do get to 1k miles, I'll weigh everything again with the new truck. I'm hesitant to weight the truck and trailer on the hitch ball mount because the limit on the hitch states 500 lbs. without WD Hitch. If what the other poster said is correct and I have 1k TW, then I really don't want to put double the max on the Hitch ball mount. Although, maybe it would be okay just for a short time to re-weigh? I really think, in the end, I'll find out the TW is not 1k lbs. If it is, I'm screwed even worse than I thought.
