Gentlemen, all the numbers are within limits except the 90 lbs over on the axel. That number will be reduced with 2 simple changes. The water tank will be empty reducing 200 lbs minimum and I will adjust the Hensley hitch and transfer more weight forward and to the trailer.

I will conduct another weigh in and report back. Do you all concur that it is acceptable to tow just below the limit?

Sir, you should probably ask elsewhere. This forum is full of a bunch of Nancies, some of which are afraid of their own shadow when towing and think you need a 1 ton to pull anything bigger than a popup.
Now whether you’d feel more comfortable with a vehicle with significantly more rated capacities than the weight of the trailer you’re towing or uncomfortable towing with the Navi is a personal decision. And understanding what vehicle ratings are in place for what reasons is not something everyone understands, and being your rig is independent rear suspension, the carrier and gearset is based on the Ford 9.75, more than heavy enough. The rest of the drivetrain is a heavy duty F150, so nowhere near the towing weight limit. And the axle isn’t weight bearing.
It’s air ride so not so straight forward to upgrade rear suspension capacity but you mustn’t have any problems with the OE air springs holding up the load or your query would have been different. But the air springs are likely the weakest link, as idk how much over capacity they continue to work but it’s definitely far more than just a couple hundred lbs over rawr.

Personally I think light duty (1/2ton based vehicles) that have air suspension or even partial air suspension are the least favorable for towing. Can’t beat all steel which is far less prone to issues. And the Navi is tuned for comfort, not work, but it’s what you have and it will be fine.
Honestly I’d look for some light duty coil over shocks or air shocks. At a minimum, the heaviest gas shocks you can find. But I’d still tow with it all day and twice in sundays regardless of whether you make those mods or not.

And as mentioned before, chit can the car tires if your rating you posted on those is accurate.
