On paper it looks good and you may not have any problems, but it may not work out well either. It’s a gamble because not all trailers are the same regardless of size and weight. If the SAE used a different type trailer they would come up with a different TWR. Things like suspension type, tires, vertical CG, and high yaw inertia are different with every trailer. Any decrease in lateral stability on the trailer will effect the truck which why a TV with more mass has an advantage. Ford or any manufacturer for that matter can not guarantee all trailers of a specific weight and size will be stable even if it under the set limit. There’s just too many variables involved so it’s impossible to make that statement and they don’t.
