NO, NO, NO.
That might "work" with GM but it does not work with Ford.
That guide DOES NOT INCLUDE "OPTIONS" which may be installed on the OPs truck, hence the reason it is called a "GUIDE".
As Love2camp mentioned, the DOOR STICKER will list the ACTUAL CARGO weight rating.
OP simply takes the cargo weight rating subtract passenger and other gear which will go in the truck. The leftover is the max tongue weight allowed.
The tongue weight of a bumper pull trailer should be a min of 10% up to 15% of the TRAILER WEIGHT.
So, if you have a trailer weighing 5,000 lbs you should have a tongue weight of 500 lbs to 750 lbs.
6,000 lbs you will have tongue weight of 600 lbs to 900 lbs
7,000 lbs you will have tongue weight of 700 lbs to 1,050 lbs
Remember, your tongue weight COUNTS as "cargo" for your vehicle.
