Initially I think he might be overloaded on payload as well. However, OP has stated a max tow package.
That being said, that's still a LOT of trailer for that sized truck.
Good point, but isn't the "max tow package" different than the "max payload package" on the F150?....or are the one and the same?
Also thinking of the weight of the ProPride itself....isn't it a really heavy hitch? - counts against the truck's payload also.
Max tow does little or nothing for payload. You can special order from the factory with a max payload package (which is different from max tow), but even that would be strained with what the OP is planning. No matter what WDH is used, the tongue weight doesn't change. From what I've read, the max tow package still only includes a receiver with a 1000 lb tongue weight limit.
