I tow a #5000 GVWR (fully loaded) TT with a 13 F150 that has a tow rating of over #11,000..
My TT has a tongue weight of around #650.
There is only 2 of us.
I do load stuff in the bed of the truck too, so that adds weight too.
I'm under my weights with this truck, but when I towed this same TT with my old 97 F150, I was over some of it's weights, but I survived..

Good luck!
