Sorry about the lack of info. Here are the facts. 2011 F150, SuperCrew Cab, 4WD, 7200# GVWR package, 36 gallon gas tank, Trailer tow package, 5.5' bed, the truck will have myself, my wife, 40 lbs of dog, 200 lbs of stuff in it, P275/65R18 tires, Trailer brake controller, off road Package, select shift Transmission and the truck has a Soft tonneau cover. I hope this helps and I really appreciate your help.

So with everything your described, I'd say about 600 lbs for everything (everyone also) in the truck.

Your truck looks very similar to mine except the off road package. I think you'll be right at the GVWR because your's is 150 lbs lower than my 7350 lbs and you'll have a much heavier trailer, even though you have 200 lbs less in the truck than me.

7800 * 13% (average travel trailer tongue weight) = 1014 lbs. 1014 * 80% (Average WDH weight that's transfered to the trucks axles) = 811 . 811 + 600 = 1411 lbs. If your yellow tire loading (tread act) sticker states 1411 lbs or more, you "SHOULD" be OK if the trucks cargo weight, and average percentages are correct for your rig. Best to get it weighed when you have it to see how close you are. But then it's to late, it's yours.

Since it looks like you'll be really close, you may want to find a 3/4 ton truck that has more payload for your heavier travel trailer.

Good luck.
